How could working hard be wrong?

I am launching a new program called the Positive Intelligence PQ Bootcamp.

When I first started doing this Bootcamp myself, I saw the results so quickly that I got excited about what it could do for my clients. I now understand that saboteurs are behind everything that holds women leaders back in their careers.

And, PQ Bootcamp brings us hands-down the most effective way to work with them.

The beauty of this new program is that as you start to unravel one of your saboteur patterns, the rest start to soften as well. So learning how to work with them snowballs in a short amount of time.

For me, the end result has been to feel so much more calm, joyful and confident while achieving even more.

My work is flowing with more ease (and less effort).

Importantly, I feel good about packing it up at the end of the day without that nagging feeling of wishing I could do just one more thing.

See, my top saboteur is the Hyper-Achiever.

When I saw the results, my first thought was, “Isn’t that a good thing?”

It seemed like almost all of my success has come from working hard and that I needed that diligence to get where I have gone.

Yet, when I started to take a closer look at my success, I wasn’t sure if it had come because of my hard work – or in spite of it.

I started to ask myself if there might be another way…

I recognized that sometimes I had forced things instead of waiting for the right time when it would go easily and smoothly.

Sometimes this had cost me in my relationships.

Sometimes I worked many long hours thinking I was doing something good but it was actually damaging to my relationship with my husband.

We had an open and honest talk about it and he said that he could see all of the hard work that I’ve done over the years and put it under one umbrella called ‘selfishness’.

While I was grateful for his candor, it was a little hard for me to hear because I had never intended to be selfish in my pursuits.

That wasn’t how it felt inside, but it was the effect I was having.

At the time, I thought I was doing what was right for our family, the company, the customers, the nonprofit I was volunteering at… whoever I was serving at the time.

However, when I examined my behavior, I realized that underneath all this ‘service’, I was really serving myself to make myself feel good.

And, in the process of that, I was making my husband feel like he was less important than all these other things.

It was a real eye-opener for me.

In the following weeks, I continued to have insight after insight that was equally impactful.

I could really go on and on.

So, you can see why I am excited to share this program with you. I want for you what so many others have gotten already.
