After one session, CJ will lower the anxiety in the room and provide recovering overachievers with real solutions to get more satisfaction and joy in their lives while still achieving their professional goals.

Overachievers Dilemma

The Overachiever’s Dilemma

For as long as you can remember, you’ve worked hard to be the best. Now you’re thriving in a busy career, running your own business or quickly climbing the corporate ladder.

However, instead of being satisfied with your progress, every achievement adds more stress and complexity to your life. You’re beginning to doubt that the phrase “I’ll be happy as soon as…” will ever be true.

In The Overachiever’s Dilemma, CJ helps you understand why having a “Type A” personality makes you feel like you’re running on a treadmill, unable to slow down long enough to catch your breath. More importantly, CJ introduces a simple system that’s helped hundreds of professionals grow their careers and actually enjoy their hard work.

Overachievers Dilemma

Thrive

Our lives are filled to the max with stuff. We have more than the previous generations could even imagine, so why are our lives flooded with devastating amounts of stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness? And what can we do to change this constant, never-ending search for fulfillment?

In this breakthrough book, CJ McClanahan argues that designing your extraordinary life doesn’t require a MBA and can’t be found with an iPhone app. He believes we already know exactly what to do. Unfortunately, we struggle to focus on what’s important because we are always searching for a quick fix to the challenge of the day.
