Healing your inner anxious overachiever, with Faris Aranki

Today, I’m joined by Faris Aranki, a former partner at Baringa Partners who built a highly successful career in consulting, before stepping back to ask some deeper questions about what it really means to flourish. Faris now runs his own strategy consulting business, Shiageto, where he helps people and teams improve their strategic effectiveness. In our conversation, we talk about:o  The anxious overachiever (yes, I’m looking at you) and the challenges of making conscious choices in your careerwhen you’re wired to do what you think is expected of youo  The importance of having a variety of experiences to discover what you truly enjoy,  and Faris’s shares own process for finding this out and learning more about your personal preferenceso  On our last episode Ruth Handcock, CEO at Octopus Money, talks about the importance of joy at work, on this episode Faris shares why fun and playfulness at work aren’t just nice-to-haves, but actually key ingredients for better performance and greater joy  So many of the brilliant people I know are anxious overachievers. And so, this episode is for you.You can find more about Faris' work at Shiageto here.
