Dr. Tricia Groff Executive Coach for High Achievers and Their Organizations

I am SO excited to release a workbook on Self-Confidence for High Achievers. https://www.amazon.com/.../B0C2SF.../ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0... This one is close to my heart. I'll be doing other confidence resources, but this one is specifically for people who are outwardly successful but still struggle with low self-worth. Many high achievers have high expectations of themselves and are sensitive to feelings of failure, shame, and self-doubt. If that's you, I wrote this to guide your thought process, with a lot of love poured into it and the hope that you will find freedom.

So much fun doing this show!

Terminated? - Encouragement for Executives Who Have Been Dismissed

https://www.drtriciagroff.com/terminated-encouragement-for-executives-who-find-themselves-released-from-employment/

drtriciagroff.com Terminated. Fired. Dismissed. "Released." Executives struggle with the emotional backlash and practical questions of unanticipated career changes.

Feeling incredibly grateful for my clients--whipsmart, dedicated and fabulous human beings; and for my business--challenging, creative, adventurous. The dimension of being where the lines of work and play blur around each other--it's an existence worth fighting for.

I normally post encouragement or a video, but right now, I"m just feeling incredibly grateful. Every single client and business I work with is amazing. I can't describe what it's like to work with people who I like, respect, and challenge me to bring my best. So if any of my clients are reading this...wow, you have no idea how much I believe in you and am grateful to be invited into your life.

STRUGGLE is a sign of achievement. No one has to struggle when s/he is sitting on the couch.

This made me laugh. I was sorting through SERIOUSLY BAD team-building ideas for a retreat that I'm leading.....

"14. Frostbite
For: Creative Problem Solving & Collaboration Exercise
What You’ll Need: 1 packet of construction materials (like card stock, toothpicks, rubber bands, and sticky notes) for each team, an electric fan
Instructions: Your teams of 4-5 are no longer sitting in your office, they’re Arctic explorers trekking across the frozen tundra! Have each team elect a leader to guide their expedition. When a sudden storm hits, the team must erect an emergency shelter to survive. However, both of the team leader’s hands have frostbite, so s/he can’t physically help construct the shelter, and the rest of the team has snow blindness and is unable to see. Give each team a set of construction materials and start the timer. When time runs out, turn on the electric fan’s arctic winds and see who successfully built a shelter that will keep them safe. Adjust the difficulty with sturdier construction materials (provide popsicle sticks instead of toothpicks, etc.), by changing the fan’s settings, or by having the fan running while the team constructs their shelters. "

There are only two gut-level responses to the words "It can't be done." --"Okay" and "WATCH ME."

Client quote of the day: "YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE ENERGY TO PEOPLE'S TOXICITY!!!" She has chosen to be intentional about who and what she allows into her life that will either diminish or enhance her light.

You know that you are in the right career fit when going to work feels like coming home...and home is a good place to be.

Favorite Moment of the Week: I asked one of my high achieving clients who struggles with perfectionism, to make a list of her imperfections. She looked up the word "imperfections" in the dictionary to make sure that she got the assignment perfectly correct.

Your frustration is the by-product of choosing excellence. Mediocrity is easy.

Your heart is the strongest part of you. Some people protect it. Some people fear it. Some people avoid it. To fully embrace it, to open it up, to use it completely...is one of the most courageous things you can do in this lifetime. That type of courage changes the world. And when you die, your heart will not be pristinely sitting on a shelf. Like the wrinkles from a well-worn smile, your old, battle-worn, lovely heart will live on in the others with whom you have shared it.

It is easy to avoid failure when you're sitting on the couch.
