Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail What do you do when your own wiring (your 'get $h*t done' attitude) starts to work against you? Until you directly look at the hyper achiever energy that got you to this point in your business, and do the internal work to separate your identity from your output , no amount of hiring, restructuring or strategic planning is going to move the needle the way you need it to. That's what this episode is really about: The internal work that actually has to happen first. Episode Highlights: Why the drive and ambition that built your business might be capping your growth right now The hyper achiever saboteur - what it is, how it shows up, and the ripple effect it has on your team and your culture The story of a founder who was softening every piece of feedback, and hoping things would just sort themselves out Why your leadership is the lever you can control the most - and what changes when you finally do Most people don't need a softer leader. They need a steadier one. And if you're constantly hustling for your self worth and you know that has to change, if you need to create clarity and actually lead like a CEO - the LPC Accelerator is where that work gets done.
