Episode 97 - Why doesn't good enough feel good enough?

Why doesn't good enough feel good enough?

You're exhausted. You're managing a thousand things at once. At the end of every day, you look back at everything that went wrong, everything you didn't get to, everything that's still not quite right. What you're not noticing? Your team is functioning. Work is getting done. Things are moving forward. You're the one making that happen but it doesn't feel like enough.

This episode of Career Espresso is about recognising what's actually working, even when it doesn't feel like anything is.

What you'll discover

• Why your attention naturally goes to problems and how that creates a skewed picture of reality
• The research on why women attribute success to luck but blame themselves entirely for failure
• The exhausting pattern of constantly preparing for the next crisis instead of noticing what's going well
• How to see the full picture instead of just the problem-shaped bits

Perfect for women leaders who are doing better than they think but can't quite believe it.
