No one has ever regretted trying harder. Have you?

Most professionals don’t feel stuck because they lack potential, intelligence, or drive. They feel stuck because they’re holding back, questioning if their effort will even make a difference.

I’ve seen it time and time again where high-achievers who know they’re capable of more, hesitate to push beyond their comfort zone. They convince themselves they’re doing enough yet, deep down, they know they have more to give.

If you’re not where you want to be, ask yourself: Am I really giving this my best effort every single day?

Not just when you feel inspired. Not just when the stakes are high. But in the mundane, everyday moments where real growth happens.

Because the people who rise fastest in their careers aren’t always the smartest or most talented. They’re the ones who show up consistently during the everyday moments that matter most.

And the best part? They never look back with regret.

So today, push a little harder. Learn something new. Challenge yourself more than yesterday.

You’ve got this.

🎉 Client case study of the week

The Context: Our Career Success Fast Track™ client is transitioning from her former company into her new role and wanted to ensure she left on a high note while preparing effectively for her first 90 days.
​
​The Success: She reinforced her key internal relationships at her former company, received great feedback on her impact, and left without burning any bridges with her C-level team. She's feeling happy, excited and motivated for her next step, with full peace of mind.
​
​The Strategy: We reviewed her internal company structure to identify important decision makers and meaningful relationships she's built. Together, we refined the email and verbal scripts she used in her last week to end on a high note. We focused heavily on the conversations to be had with her CEO and other executives, leading them to share that the door is always open for her to return. We then jumped into her first 90 days game plan, already outlining intentional action steps to make an amazing impression and set her up for the most success. Let's go 👏
