    493. The 3 types of high achiever burnout

    When high achievers feel burnt out or dissatisfied with their careers, their first question is usually: What should I do NEXT? But I think it’s very important to first ask: What’s not working NOW? Because if you don’t correctly diagnose that… You run the risk of making a change and feeling exactly the way you feel right now, 6-12 months from now. But you don’t have to start from scratch in figuring out what’s not working. I’ve spent thousands of hours talking to high achievers at career inflection points…  And from those conversations, I’ve distilled the 3 types of high achiever burnout I see again and again. So here’s what I want you to do next: 1️⃣ Listen to this episode to understand the 3 types 2️⃣ Book a Free Career Audit with me, 2-3 days from now: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact  3️⃣ Track your mental soundtrack over the next 2-3 days and see which of the 3 types it aligns with 4️⃣ Bring your mental soundtrack to me Don’t worry if it’s messy or unstructured. I’m the expert at cleaning up and making sense of brain dumps. Just book your call (do that first to give yourself a deadline!). Track your soundtrack. And bring it to me. I’ll tell you exactly what’s going on here – the true root cause of your burnout. And I’ll build you a plan to get clear on what’s next, make it a success, and build a career that doesn’t burn you out again. Talk soon :)  And email me anytime with thoughts, feedback, and topics you’d like to see covered on the podcast! ⁠⁠pooja@poojavcoaching.com⁠⁠
