32. Why Being a High Achiever is Holding You Back

In Episode 32, Gerda unpacks a game-changing concept for private practice owners, as she explores the traits that differentiate High Achievers from High Performers. 

Drawing from her personal experience and research, Gerda explains that although a High Achiever mindset and functioning is essential for excelling at university and launching your practice, it can and in fact will create barriers towards fully stepping into a visionary leadership role.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• The key differences between High Achievers and High Performers.
• Why High Achiever mode may be keeping you stuck in the day-to-day operations of your practice.
• How High Performer mode empowers you to step into the strategic, long-term leadership your business needs.
• Practical steps to shift from High Achiever to High Performer mode.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Practice owners who feel overwhelmed by daily operations and want to focus on strategy.
• Business Owners who are ready to lead their teams and businesses with confidence.
• Anyone seeking to break free from perfectionism and step into a more empowered leadership role.

Gerda’s insights will inspire you to reflect on your default mode and take intentional steps toward becoming the High Performer your business needs.
