In this episode, Dr. Sharalyn with Zerina Derveni, explores why corporate achievement alone does not guarantee fulfillment — and why self-discovery, identity alignment, and unlearning inherited leadership scripts are essential for long-term impact.
If you're a senior leader, executive, or ambitious professional who has built the career, earned the title, and delivered results — but still feel there's more — this conversation is for you.
This conversation addresses:
Executive burnout masked as ambition
The hidden cost of performative leadership
Blind spots that keep high achievers compliant
The transition from external validation to internal authority
How to find meaning beyond titles and recognition
If you're navigating career transition, leadership evolution, or questioning what comes after success, this episode will challenge your thinking and elevate your next move.
For executives, founders, senior leaders, and ambitious professionals seeking more than achievement, this is your wake-up call.
