    How To Have Self Compassion For Higher Performance

    Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Most of us think that being hard on ourselves is what drives results. Hustle. Grind. Fear. The inner critic. We’ve trained ourselves to believe that’s what works. But here’s the truth: it works until it burns you out. If you actually want higher performance, faster recovery, and long-term success, the secret isn’t pushing harder. It’s practicing self-compassion. Not fluffy, feel-good stuff. The science shows it increases resilience, motivation, and performance. In this episode, I share the research, my own resistance to self-compassion, and the exact techniques I used (yes, even asking ChatGPT for help) that changed everything.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why “hustle harder” is a short-term strategy that leads to burnout     ↠ What the research shows about self-compassion and higher motivation     ↠ What the research shows about self-compassion and higher motivation     ↠ My own resistance (and how I literally had to learn this from scratch)     ↠ Why self-compassion feels so foreign if it wasn’t modeled for you     ↠ How I practiced it with ChatGPT as my “coach” and what changed     ↠ The Disneyland story: how compassion fueled productivity     ↠ Techniques for meeting your younger selves with compassion     ↠ Practical tactics: normalize feelings, meet yourself where you are, and break down tasks   PS.

    Forget Consistency. Here’s What Actually Matters

    Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. We’ve all been told, “Success is on the other side of consistency.” Books like The Compound Effect make it sound like the only way forward is to stick to a habit perfectly, forever. But what if that’s not true for you? What if consistency is nearly impossible, and beating yourself up about it is doing more damage than good? In this episode, I share what I’ve learned (with ADHD and from hundreds of high-achieving clients) about why traditional consistency advice doesn’t always work and the surprising reframe that can actually make you more consistent by trying less hard to be consistent.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why “be consistent” advice leaves so many of us stuck in shame     ↠ How ADHD brains (and high achievers) are wired for uneven energy     ↠ Why forcing consistency often backfires and fuels burnout     ↠ The fast recovery strategy that actually builds momentum     ↠ How to set realistic expectations by checking your daily energy     ↠ Why lowering the bar can leave you feeling more accomplished     ↠ The mantra that keeps me grounded: “I won’t miss two.”   PS.

    How To Take Feedback Without Taking It Personally

    Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they work and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Do you secretly dread hearing the words “I have some feedback for you”? Same. I know feedback is supposed to make us better but for so many of us, especially high achievers with ADHD or imposter feelings, feedback feels like a gut punch. Instead of fueling growth, it can send us into shame spirals, rejection sensitivity, or black-and-white thinking that leaves us doubting ourselves. In this episode, I share my own journey with feedback, the books, the frameworks, and the mindset shifts that finally freed me from feeling crushed every time someone pointed out an area to improve. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between appreciation, coaching, and evaluation feedback… plus how to spot the triggers that make feedback feel unbearable and what to do with them. Feedback doesn’t have to be your enemy. In fact, it can become one of the most powerful accelerators of your career and confidence, once you learn how to metabolize it.   🎯 In this episode:     ↠ Why feedback feels threatening (especially with ADHD & rejection sensitivity)     ↠ The 3 types of feedback: appreciation, coaching, evaluation     ↠ Reinforcing vs redirecting feedback (the hiking path analogy)     ↠ The 3 triggers that block feedback (truth, relationship, identity)     ↠ How to know if it’s you or an environment mismatch     ↠ Why 90% of feedback can be trash, and how to mine the gold     ↠ How to reframe feedback as a tool, not a verdict   PS.

    How To Build Your 5-Year Plan On Easy Mode (And Create Your Dream Life!)

I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they work and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Do you cringe when someone asks, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” Most achievers love the idea of having a plan but freeze up trying to make one. In this episode, Amber walks you through a simple, values-based process to design a 5- and 10-year plan you’ll actually stick with. No overwhelm, no overthinking… just clarity, direction, and next steps.   🎯 In this episode: ↠ Why classic 5-year planning feels impossible (it’s not your fault) ↠ A quick values-first exercise that clarifies direction fast ↠ How to turn vague goals into checkable outcomes ↠ “Week in the life” prompts to design the future you actually want ↠ Why writing it down trains your RAS (reticular activating system) to spot opportunities   Pause the episode, do the prompts with me, and by the end you’ll have a plan that feels inspiring, not overwhelming.   PS.
