285: Suffering From Your Own Success


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself buried under the weight of the very success you worked so hard to achieve? 

Winning a giant grant or getting the opportunity to head your own research center are amazing accomplishments. With success comes new responsibilities that demand unique skillsets – good problems to have, but ones you need to manage to avoid burnout and overwhelm. 

Today, I am offering a sneak peek from the Scholar’s Voice® Alumni Podcast, an exclusive feed available only to academics who have taken Navigate 12-week program, Elevate, Amplify, or Leading Now.

In this episode, I share a coaching story about a client whose incredible research accomplishments left her managing multiple large projects without the systems or support to handle them. Together, we’ll explore what happens when achievement outpaces infrastructure, and why the skills that get you to the next level aren’t always the ones that help you thrive there. 

Listen in to learn how to stop suffering from your own success so you can lead with more clarity, confidence, and sustainability.
