"You don't get promoted for what you do. You get promoted for who you are."

If you are relying on the same skills that made you a top-tier individual contributor, you are falling into the High Performer Trap. What got you here won't get you there. In fact, your "doing" skills are likely the very bottleneck stopping your growth.

In this special episode, I am sharing the full audio from my recent High Impact Leadership Masterclass. We had hundreds of leaders join live to learn the psychology of scaling their leadership without scaling their stress.

In this Masterclass, you will learn:

-The High Performer Trap: Why being "good at your job" is actually a liability when you move into executive leadership.

-The Identity Equation: A new formula (Identity = Evidence + Mindset) to stop letting your past failures dictate your future confidence.

-The Self-Worth Gap: Why you feel like an imposter when your achievements outpace your self-worth (and how to fix it).

-The Solo Transformation Fallacy: Why trying to fix your leadership struggles in isolation keeps you stuck in the cycle of burnout.

-The Rapid Identity Transformation System: The 4-step psychological framework to unlock the high-impact leader within you.

There’s a lot of gold in this one, with a great Q&A at the end.
