Episode 12: The Crafting of the Over Achiever

In this episode we talk about the label of “Over-Achiever” and what makes them.  Both of Beth and Jay are self-diagnosed over-achievers, type A’s, organizers, methodical and other labels that fall into the over-achieving stereo-type. Both have similar stories and believe this is part of the push that crafts their over-achieving tendency…..Listen Now.

Episode Points:

How this benefits Honu? We seem to have a language or a short hand in communication. We resemble each other in some processes and compliment each other elsewhere. It’s an interesting BREW.

Adventures in kindergarten and how events shape the way we think and behave. Using the fake it till you make it mindset.

Being the youngest and having to prove yourself over and over can gift you the tenacity to try many different things.

Always draw on the skills you have developed over your life. Every situation is a learning opportunity.

Helpful mindset…”underestimate me, that will be fun!”
I do think I surprise people, challenge people and I make no apologies for it. - Beth

All of this has crafted me into the challenger, the inquisitor and the person with very HIGH expectations.

I don’t ask of anyone to do what I haven’t done, but the thing is…I was always younger at the start.

I do get tired of “having” to push…this is a well conditioned muscle created by starting school early…I believe.
