Episode 102: Why Some High Achievers Don’t Burn Out, with Nick Petrie
What if the thing that’s exhausting you isn’t the pressure? What if it’s the formula you’ve been using to handle it all these years? It’s probably the same formula that built your career, which is now quietly running you into the ground.
In this conversation, leadership researcher Nick Petrie shares what he learned from studying more than 1,000 high performers and the handful who seem to have cracked a code the rest of us missed. Not because they’re tougher. Not because they’re better at self-care. And not because they’ve figured out how to squeeze even more productivity out of an already overstuffed life. Most of them hit the wall too.
This group of “thrivers”, as Nick calls them, did something different, and I’m pretty sure you want to know about it. We go places in this conversation: From Roger Federer to quilting and Argentine tango. Come join us.
