I work personally with those who are mentally agile, driven, and successful who want something better than what the status quo has to offer.
The perils of high achievement
We know it: Striving is common currency among achievers. Striving got us to where we are.
Priority continues to go to what's been proven to work, what brings home the bacon, what yields the most return.
But sometimes striving is constraining. Our vision becomes limited, our flexibility restricted, our possibilities narrowed.
There is nothing saying we can't add perspective and pleasure to our drive.
Enter Positive Psychology
There is a method of performance coaching I practice which is theoretically grounded and empirically supported within the growing field of Positive Psychology (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000).
invites novelty and openness (Boehm & Lyubomirsky, 2008)
improves performance while generating greater satisfaction in accomplishment (Kauffman, 2006)
has sustainable positive impacts (Seligman, Steen, Park & Peterson, 2005)
This method of coaching builds from your inherent strengths and values to your dreams and visions, and is aimed at fostering positive outcomes including authentic happiness.
Authentic happiness, by the way, is not just bliss, puffy clouds and pie in the sky. Authentic happiness (Lyubomirsky, 2007):
grounded in reality, being "the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one's life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile"
is well within our power to change for the better, and
points right back at those outcomes we are after in the first place (better performance, quicker and more agile thinking, more innovation, more inspired leadership, and better negotiation strategies, to name a few.)
