The Success Trap: When Achievement Becomes Identity | Susan Collins

from The Self-Leadership Lab

What happens when the habits that made you successful become the very things holding you back? In this episode, Susan Collins joins me to discuss what she calls the Success Trap ...the point where high performers begin to plateau because they continue relying on the same approaches that created their earlier success. We explore leadership growth, identity, networking, self-awareness, and why curiosity may be one of the most important skills for navigating change. If you've ever felt stuck despite doing everything "right," this conversation will challenge you to think differently about success and what comes next. Topics discussed: • The Success Trap • Career plateaus • Leadership development • Identity and work • Networking with purpose • Self-awareness and growth • What got you here won't get you there
