E57: Find Your Pace with Erika Coleman

The world celebrates over-achievers – those who take on difficult tasks and drive through barriers until they get the best results. Stress is often viewed as a natural part of the over-achieving culture. But it comes at a cost. Burnout. In this episode, Erika Coleman shares her research and her personal experience as a hard-driving over-achiever, and how it helped her coin the phrase “even-achiever.” She talks about how we can achieve a lot without the costs of high levels of stress. Listen in to learn about: - The importance of prioritizing direction over destination. - The value of hard things in finding balance. - The key roles of a good champion on your success path. If you ever find yourself in over-achiever mode – or if you feel guilty for not being an over-achiever – this episode is for you. Erika Coleman is a speaker, consultant and recovering overachiever. She believes most successful people are getting accomplishment wrong. Erika founded a million-dollar virtual training company that serviced some of the top organizations in the world. Her curiosity about stress, motivation and well-being led her to a master’s degree in industrial-organizational psychology from Harvard University. Erika imagines a world where no one needs to choose between achieving their goals and building a life worth living. Her mission is to help people learn how to find balance between dreaming and drowning by teaching the art and science of “even-achieving.” Contact Erika: Website: https://www.erikacolemanspeaks.com/ LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erika-coleman-1591b435/ Learn more about your ad choices.
