Overachievers tend to believe that the only thing that matters is reaching the outcome—reaching goal after goal but unknowingly losing sight of the things and people that matter most even when they’re right in front of them. In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy sits down with Author, Speaker, Executive Leader Coach, and Founder of Taygerly Labs, Tutti Taygerly. They talk about her journey of being an overachiever looking for fulfillment everywhere, turning her life around, making space for what matters, and using what she learned to coach others who have the same mindset.

Tutti Taygerly is a leader and executive coach, sought-after speaker, and author of Make Space to Lead. Tutti has helped dozens of top performers uncover their passion and get back on the path to work fulfillment, and she’s eager to share that knowledge with your audience.

From valedictorian at Stanford to a seemingly effortless climb up the career ladder, Tutti has been a lifelong super-achiever. While her path to success might have appeared perfect, Tutti felt anxious and overwhelmed behind the scenes. Tutti wasn’t achieving because it was her passion; she was achieving because she was constantly seeking validation from external sources and keeping busy to feel important. She loved leading design teams and creating products that reached billions of people, but it wasn’t the depth of meaning she yearned for. Then, after years of worshipping at the altar of busyness, she discovered the life-changing power of coaching.

After 22 years as a design leader in Silicon Valley, Tutti began to use her design process to help clients make space for what matters. As a leadership and executive coach, she helps entrepreneurs, startup founders, corporate leaders, and other high-achievers design the life they’ve always wanted. In Make Space to Lead, Tutti shares personal stories from her clients’ experiences and teaches readers how to design their best professional and personal lives. Make Space to Lead is an invaluable resource to anyone who feels burned out, overwhelmed, distracted, and unsatisfied in their work.
