In part four of this five-episode series, we focus on the different types of saboteurs. The aim of this series is to shed light on something we all struggle with: the inner judge that sabotages our progress. In this episode, we explore three types of saboteurs: the hyper-achiever, the hyper-vigilant, and the hyper-rational. We discuss what they say, how they approach time management and feedback, their blind spots, and their deepest fears. While each saboteur has good qualities, too much achievement, hyper-vigilance, and hyper-rationality can hinder progress.

It's easy to get caught up on the path of Achievement. Before we know it, we become hyper-achiever who wants to achieve more and more without ever reaching the satisfaction that accompanies achievement. I work with high achievers who set the bar so high they can't even see their own achievements, much less how to achieve what they really want. I help them get out of their own ways, identify their saboteur, learn how to change their behaviors so they can do less and accomplish more, and feel great on the way.

In today's episode, we will discuss the hyper-achiever saboteur's key traits and habits and how they frequently derail our efforts to achieve success and happiness.
