How This High-Level Leader Overcame Self-Doubt After Multiple Promotions with Amy


Listen Later

After 20 years with her company, Amy’s career had accelerated rapidly, bringing more promotions, higher stakes, and mounting pressure. Once known for her decisiveness, she suddenly found herself doubting everything, from career moves to daily decisions.


Through the Breakthrough Coaching Program, Amy gained:

🔹A clear decision-making framework grounded in her values

🔹Tools to handle high-pressure situations with confidence.

🔹Sustainable habits that fuel her creativity and focus.


Her breakthrough moment came when she confidently turned down a leadership opportunity requiring extensive travel—trusting her values over external expectations. Her son’s words confirmed her decision:


“I’m glad you didn’t take it, Mom. We only have four years left together at home. If you were gone half the time, that would only be two.”


Now, Amy leads with clarity, confidence, and balance, without second-guessing herself.


If you’re a high-achieving leader feeling the weight of rapid growth, this episode will give you the strategies to navigate it with confidence.
