Since the New Year I've been feeling that I'm underperforming and berating myself for it...... As it turns out for no good reason. On reflection I found that I'd actually underestimated my output and that my focus was a little skewed! I'd been measuring my output and not the substance of my productivity. I get it – the unsustainable pressure to excel and prove ourselves - but it's unhealthy. In this piece, I share personal insights, self-reflection tips, and practical strategies to break free from that cycle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------📞 If you are a mature Black Woman, stuck trying to figure out your "What next?" and need help knowing how to plan your next chapter, click here to schedule an exploratory call with me: https://calendly.com/janicesutherland/precoachingconsult ➡️ PURCHASE MY BOOK, This Woman Can - The no bullsh*t guide for women who lead:  https://a.co/d/bU42brw ➡️ SUBSCRIBE TO MY FREE NEWSLETTER: https://janicesutherland.podia.com/subscribe-to-twc-newsletter WHO AM I?
