Anxious Achievers: Rocking the Workplace - Susan Bernstein, Ph.D./Executive Coach with James Bramson, Psy D.

Shrinks Rap

In this episode, Dr. Jim discusses the topic of elite achievement with his old friend and esteemed colleague, Dr. Susan Bernstein. Dr. Bernstein uses her wit and personal stories to illustrate how Anxious Achievers can optimize their experience and contribution. On the one hand, they are conscientious, needing to prove themselves, perfectionistic, and aiming to please others. This mix of qualities often yields good —if not great —outcomes in the workplace. Yet, Anxious Achievers need to learn how to dial it back, to prevent burning out, getting caught up in people pleasing, overworking, and being dispirited. Dr. Bernstein has made a huge impact as a thought leader, business coach, consultant, and somatic healer. She holds an M.B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley and a doctorate in Psychology. She has honed her craft at FranklinCovy, Intel, Accenture, and select startup companies in the Bay Area and beyond. She is also a champion of the human potential movement in the workplace - - and has taught at Esalen. A sought-after trainer, listen to how Dr. Bernstein coaches Anxious Achievers . . . and makes her old pal Dr. Jim laugh. Why? Because maybe he is one of them.
