Emotional High Performing C-Suite Exec’s, Entrepreneurs, and Neurodivergent people that live in the lower spectrum of emotional intelligence are likely to self-sabotage themselves as a way of trying to improve, control, or change an outcome. Ironically, being a “high performer” and being “neurodivergent” can sometimes clash because on one end, we’re action-taking machines that are fuelled by passion and relentless ambition, while on the other end, we’re terrified, unsure, and afraid of judgement, hurting people, and leaving things untended to. As you may know, dis-ease can live within lower frequency emotions such as anger, guilt, and shame. Is it impossible to live your personal and professional life without such emotions? No, it’s not impossible. The key though, is to make addressing, healing, and clearing difficult emotions a practice that you can do on your own whenever you’re feeling as if those emotions are disturbing your joy, happiness, or chilled state. That's where I come in as High-Performance Coach. Emotional High Performing C-Suite Exec’s, Entrepreneurs, and Neurodivergent people process emotions in a way that is different to a Neurotypical person. We’re much more likely to be hard on ourselves, to default to anxiety, and to get triggered by what we seemingly are losing control over. It’s in that exact moment where being a “high-performer” becomes real for us. While my clients and I journey together into the realms of diminishing self-sabotage, there’s a series of revelations that come to the surface regarding the beliefs about emotions, the beliefs about others, and the beliefs about who they are today as a result of their past. By simply noticing the emotion without making ourselves wrong about it, we already upgrade our conscious programming because we learn to observe from a place of detachment and meaningless. That’s what I invite you to practice: 1.⁠ ⁠Observing the emotions (responding vs reacting) 2.⁠ ⁠⁠Detachment (not being attached to having things look, be, or feel a certain way) 3.⁠ ⁠⁠Meaningless (remove the meaning from the emotion and identify what you’re left with when there’s no meaning to it) You’ll find that you earn your power because you become un-phased by things; you become less of a victim to your circumstances and more of a person that has choices working in her favour.
