The Pressure to Succeed — Coaching Call with Tripp Lanier
Is striving for perfection making you more fragile?
Are your goals set by fear and scarcity?
And why does it feel like there’s so much pressure to succeed?
In this coaching call, I talk with a father who feels an immense fear of failure. As we take a look at what drives his perfectionism, we start to see another way for him to be a solid provider — a way that allows him to feel more relaxed and playful as a result.
In this conversation:
- Procrastination
- Fear of failure or losing control
- The pressure to be perfect
- Developing self trust
- Learning how to “be a man”
Plus:
- Aspiring to be a superhero makes you an asshole
- Training your kids to be afraid of failure
- Carrying the burdens of others
- Why it’s so hard to be playful
- Do you have your own back?
