Manage episode 441607433 series 3560417
Megan Hellerer the founder and CEO of Coaching for Underfulfilled Overachievers, and the author of the new book, Directional Living: The Underfulfilled Overachiever’s Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life, which outlines a framework for a brand new paradigm for career fulfillment in the 21st century. After checking all of the traditional boxes of success—graduating at the top of her class from Stanford and spending 8 years as a Google executive—and still finding herself deeply unhappy, she quit her “great-on-paper” job with no plan. Megan has led hundreds of Underfulfilled Overachievers, including representative AOC, to transform their lives by transforming their careers. Now, her mission is to provide others with the support and guidance that she needed and couldn't find when she herself was struggling.
