Your Highest and Best Use (Lessons from Tiffany Dufu)


Listen Later

If you've achieved big things personally or professionally, chances are you're highly competent. And although this is a major asset, it can also be a trap.

Have you ever been told that you "don't seem like she needs help"? Or heard that your high standards are the problem? This is common for Overcompetent women: high-achievers who do things to a higher standard than most people. And so they often find themselves doing it all by default.

In this episode, I look at an important lesson from the work of Tiffany Dufu, thought leader, start-up founder, and author of Drop the Ball. By implementing this one practice, you can shift away from doing it all.

What You'll Learn:

  • How Overcompetent Moms get stuck in cycles of resentment and disappointment

  • The psychological phenomenon of "loss aversion", and how that impacts our thinking around our choices

  • Why focusing on our "Highest and Best Use" is critical for high-achieving moms

  • The 4 questions to ask to help you put your time, money and focus where it matters most

  • Tiffany Dufu, Drop the Ball
