What to expect

A revelatory five-step process to help women heal 'the success wound', the pain that comes from mistaking success for self-worth, to achieve both personal and professional health and success.

Are you a Grinder, believing that the more you work, the more successful you will be? Or are you a Hider, afraid to leave your comfort zone and wishing you had the courage to pursue your dreams? Maybe you're a Work Hard Play Hard, afraid to slow down and stop the busy-ness that secretly shields you from looking at the real problem underneath. You could be a Pleaser, seeking approval from others often at the expense of your own needs, or a Seeker, hopping from job to job, city to city, with shiny object syndrome, thinking the next thing will fill the void inside or give your life direction.

If you are a successful woman, chances are you've been some or all of these archetypes. Because while women are still supposed to 'have it all,' being a successful woman still means sacrifice, and for many of us, a heaping scoop of self-doubt as we find ourselves equating our self-worth with our professional success - our success wound.

Brooke Taylor knows this all too well: her success wound nearly ruined her promising career at Google and devastated her sense of self. After taking a step back and honestly assessing her own beliefs, she developed a 5-step programme to help other women (1) diagnose their success wound (2) discern their toxic success wound strategies (3) heal their success wound (4) create a new, internally-guided definition of success and (5) take aligned action towards this vision.

Through utilising Brooke's proven practical advice, you'll be ready to adopt a new paradigm of success that she calls 'aligned ambition' and transform your work, relationships and personal life for the better.
