Many high achievers look like they have it all figured out, but many battle perfectionism, self-doubt, and the fear of making the wrong career move.
I’ve had the chance to join some inspiring podcast conversations lately, conversations that get to the core of what drives high achievers, what holds them back, and how they can navigate career changes with confidence (and less self-sabotage).
If you’re curious about mindset and career changes, overcoming perfectionism, or taking bold steps toward a career that feels good, these episodes are for you.
1. Dare to Shift
🎙 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/demTmDCw
In this episode, Catalin and I dive into the mindset of high achievers:
* What drives them to constantly seek more—even when they’re already “successful.”
* The internal narratives (and impostor thoughts!) that show up when making a career change.
* Why the old “ladder” type of career is no longer the only way to find fulfillment.
* Practical tips for building resilience during career transitions.
I also shared 5 of my favorite resources (3 books, 1 podcast, 1 game-changing recommendation) that can help you understand and shift your thinking if you’re aiming for a meaningful career change.
2. Talent is Everywhere
🎙 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/dTBUG7wZ
With Sylvie I explored examples of real-life career changes and the methodology I use with my clients to navigate them: MADE.
* Mindset: moving from fixed to growth, and from perfectionism and inner critic to inner supporter.
* Alternatives: exploring possibilities you might not have considered.
* Decision: making a smart, intentional choice.
* Execution & Evaluation: taking action, testing, and refining your career path.
This episode is perfect if you’re standing at a career crossroads but feel overwhelmed by “what ifs” and need a clear roadmap.
3. Let’s Make It Positive
🎙 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/dJxpYitn
This conversation with Irina is close to my heart because it’s about why I made the change from employee to solopreneur.
I share my experience as an employee, the constructive and not-so-constructive experiences I’ve had in various work environments.
I also talk about how I planned my transition into solopreneurship to make it as smooth as possible.
Aaand why LinkedIn has become my favorite platform for meaningful connections.
If you’re a high achiever who’s thinking about what’s next for your career, or just want to hear candid conversations about growth and change, check them out.
