Do you wake up every day feeling like you’ve been shot out of a gun? Pumped full of adrenaline for everything you need to get done? And then spend all day constantly running from thing to thing? And do you get to the end of the day, and all you want to do is RELAX… Except…you can’t? Because your brain is still thinking about everything you need to get done? So even your rest time isn’t actually re...

Misconception #1 about building your A+ career and life as a high achiever: An A+ career and life = Corner office, C-suite title at a Fortune 500 company, millions of dollars, and a front-page NYT obituary when you die. Truth #1 about building your A+ career and life as a high achiever: An A+ career and life = whatever YOU define as an A+.  Which could be the Societal A+, above. Or it could be: Ha...

For my 500th (!) podcast episode, I have a super fun treat for you all – I am sharing an interview I did recently on the BRAVE Southeast Asia podcast with my HBS classmate, Jeremy Au! We go in full depth into my own career journey (I don’t think I’ve ever shared it in so much detail before). We talk about the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way. And as always, I share some of my favorite fr...

In the last few episodes, I’ve been talking a lot about the 20 minute clarity tool that I use with clients to help them get crystal clear on what they WANT. What their ideal lives look like. The true variables that they are solving for. What the POINT of life and work and everything is – according to them. It is such a powerful and insightful tool that can genuinely change how you make every decis...

This week, I want to tell you about a subtle mental blocker that keeps high achievers stuck and confused about their next career step… And ultimately prevents them from building the lives and careers they actually want. That blocker is… “Going for what I REALLY want…feels cringe af.” What if I fail? What if I look stupid? What if I flop?  What if it ends up being a huge waste of time? And I’m here...

You know what misalignment feels like – that daily friction of dissatisfaction, unfulfillment, restlessness, anxiety, or general “something-feels-off-ness.” You know something has to change.  But you can’t seem to put your finger on what it is – or gather enough courage, clarity, or conviction to pull the trigger. No high achiever AIMS to feel misaligned.  If anything, you’ve spent your entire lif...

When you’re in a career transition, the people around you will inevitably ask, “So what do you want to do next?” And even though they’re SO well meaning and just want to help… Those conversations often make you feel worse instead of better. In this episode, I break down 4 reasons why that happens. (It’s not you. It’s not them. This is 100% normal.)  I tell you what you need to have better, more pr...

When I say “stop trying to do a good job,” I do NOT mean “coast, relax, slack off, or just phone it in.” I know that you are ALLERGIC to ever doing that – because me too! I once fired a therapist for telling me to “just relax.” So when I say “stop trying to do a good job,” I mean:  STOP solving the “am I good enough?” problem. And START solving someone else’s problem. Because success, achievement,...

My parents are not the stereotypical Asian immigrant parents. And my dad has created a lot of traditional success for himself…in an untraditional way. So this (day after) Father’s Day, let’s take a look at what high achievers that are “traditionally successful in a traditional way” can learn from his story :) Book a Free Career Audit here: https://poojavcoaching.com/contact And email me anytime wi...
