Do you keep thinking that if you just reach this next goal or hit that next milestone, THEN you’ll be happy? Overachievers have a tendency to attach our self-worth to how much we accomplish, and no matter how much success we enjoy, it never seems to be enough. So, how do we learn to appreciate the journey? How do we keep our career moving forward AND connect with what brings us real joy?

CJ McClanahan is a popular keynote speaker and executive coach. He launched his coaching firm in 2003, and since then, he has spent 10,000 hours in front of entrepreneurs, executives and their teams and coached them to achieve record profits and profound business growth. But no matter how much success his clients attained, CJ recognized that few seemed to enjoy the journey. This inspired him to shift his focus and support high-achievers in finding the joy in their lives—while still realizing their professional goals. To that end, CJ wrote The Overachiever’s Dilemma: How to Break the Achievement Obsession Before It Breaks You.
