Ever wondered what drives high achievers and what lies beneath the surface of success? This episode of The Women of Worth podcast takes a deep dive into this enigma. Uncover the meaning of high achievement and how to identify a high achiever. Delve into the psychology behind this drive, and discover the dual faces of high achieving – the blessings and the burdens. We will also unravel the patterns of overthinking, overscheduling, and overfunctioning, and how these can often overshadow inner success.
In the second half of our conversation, we transition towards the concept of being a conscious achiever. We illuminate the significance of aligning your identity with your purpose, setting intentions, and evading the trap of instant gratification. We guide you on a journey to achieve inner peace and contentment, asserting that happiness is not just a result of our circumstances but rather largely linked to our mindset. Prepare to embark on an exploration of the five steps of the permanent peace process and join us in our mission to understand the complexities of high achievement.

What does it mean to be a high achiever and how to spot one? We explore healthy and harmful high achieving, and why your ability to enjoy is more important than your ability to achieve. We discuss the theory of human motivation and the three needs that motivate people to do anything in life: the need for power, the need for affiliation, and the need for achievement and success. We also examine how success doesn't always equal inner success, and why it's important to understand what's underneath the surface.
