478. Don’t celebrate your success. Analyze it.


Listen Later

Most high achievers are allergic to celebrating their successes.

At best, celebrating feels corny and fake. 

It feels like something you “should” do, like your gratitude journal.

(And then you feel kind of bad for not doing it.)

At worst, celebrating feels dangerous. 

Resting on your laurels will make you arrogant and complacent… 

Pride goeth before the fall… 

The moment you relax is the moment the other shoe is going to drop…


And yet, there is GOLD waiting for you inside your successes.

Gold that you are MISSING because your brain is so busy focusing on the 1 thing that didn’t go well.

80% of my success (at least!) has come from extending and deepening WHAT’S WORKING – not fixing what’s not.


So in today’s episode, I give you a simple way to extract and apply your Success Gold without feeling corny and without triggering your fears.


If you’re a female HBS alum, come to my monthly roundtable this Thursday Feb 26, and we’ll work together to extract your own success playbook AND you’ll get to grab from the success playbooks of others.

And if you want to go beyond extracting just one success playbook and make building on your strengths and extending what’s working a core part of how you operate day-to-day and how you set your career strategy overall…

Book a free coaching consult and let’s talk about working together: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact 


That’s exactly what I do with my clients.

And that’s exactly what I use my own coaches to do for me. 

Because building around your strengths is way easier when you have an objective third party to help you identify them and time set aside to strategize and make it happen.
