High performers get stuck too.
They just struggle to admit it.
Not because they don’t realise they’re stuck.
But because being “stuck” doesn’t fit with how they see themselves.
Their identity is built on being capable.
Reliable.
Always moving forward.
So admitting that something’s off feels like failure.
The result?
They defer making a decision.
Because making a decision would mean admitting your current identity doesn’t fit.
And that’s confronting.
So they publicly say they’re doing well and keep performing at a high level.
But privately they keep hoping things will change.
Which they’ve been hoping for a while…
Do you see yourself as a high performer?
If so, is this where you want to be in your career?
