How Leaders Can Become Healthy Hyper-Achievers | Alex Howard

Listen:

Episode Summary:

People typically link trauma with major life events like those leading to PTSD, such as war zone experience or physical abuse. While those are truly traumatic events, our childhood experiences can also be traumatic. These can sometimes be very subtle events, but they have the power to shape our personalities, our psychology, and the ways that that we function. In this podcast episode, Alex Howard, founder and chairman of The Optimum Health Clinic, talks about the impact of childhood trauma on leaders and hyper-achievers in the workplace. Additionally, he explains how most hyper-achievers have unresolved trauma, often using unhealthy expressions of resolving it. He also shares the three core emotional needs that remain the same from childhood to adulthood and why these needs have to be met to truly work collaboratively, in harmony, and in balance with other people in the organization.
