Do Something Different: A Leadership Podcast

High achievers often get trapped by their own success.

- High performers struggling with burnout
- Managers ready to shift from tactical to strategic
- Ambitious professionals seeking sustainable success
Key themes:
- Why "more of the same" stops working at senior levels
- The hidden cost of perfectionism
- Breaking free from the execution mindset
