Listen "7. Living In The Gain: Celebrate Success And Break Free From The Trap Of Constant Striving"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Both/And, host Bessi Graham discusses how you can recognize past achievements as a leader to establish legacy and define success, without the need to defend yourself. In stead, you can celebrate success in past accomplishments to avoid the trap of constantly striving for future goals. You need to reflect and recognize the components of your past achievements and proven track record as a leader. This step develops a deeper understanding of your multi-dimensional self and establish your legacy. By acknowledging your successes, you can better define what success means to you and confidently embrace your established leadership position without feeling the need to defend or prove yourself. The concept of the "gap" as outlined in Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book emphasizes the trap of constantly striving towards future goals and neglecting to celebrate past accomplishments. As someone with the "achiever" strength, I understand the whisper of discontent that can arise when we fail to acknowledge our successes.
