About This Session
High-achiev ing professionals often feel like they’re never doing enough despite consta nt effort\, results\, and recognition. In this session\, Susan J. Schmitt W inchester shows how unconscious emotional patterns from childhood silently shape careers today. From imposter syndrome and perfectionism to over-funct ioning and fear of speaking up\, these patterns lead to burnout\, self-doub t\, and career stagnation.
Grounded in Susan’s executive experience\, this program gives leaders tools to reclaim energy\, access their full pot ential\, and lead with clarity and confidence.
