During her extensive career Yvonne Looije has worked with many high achievers. MaXXYou therefore identifies high achievers as a one of her core clients. The high achievers that reach out to MaXXYou have some characteristics in common.
Without commitment no professional becomes a high achiever. Commitment is the top personal trait and characteristic of a high achiever. Some people use the word grit to describe their determination, steadfastness or commitment. Commitment to high achievement means you do the work no matter what. Sometimes grit can get in the way of opening up to other possibilities. Yvonne Looije will help high achievers if they are still committed to do what’s best for them.
People are always looking for motivation. But you can’t train motivation.... If you want to be a high achiever, train your discipline. Discipline is like a muscle. The more often you train a muscle, the stronger it becomes. If you stop training, that muscle becomes weaker again. It works the same way with discipline. By 'training' your discipline, it becomes easier to work in a disciplined way on your potential and performance in all areas of your life. At MaXXYou high achievers will explore, including if their discipline is still working in their best interest.
High achievers take ownership over their lives, taking matters into their own hands. If you want to achieve your highest potential and performance in all areas of your life, you need to own your life. When coaching, Yvonne will explore with her client if their choices and their actions in life are aligned, all the way. Boundary setting and saying no can be hard - it all starts with having that awareness. Learning to apply is something Yvonne Looije's can help you with. Having a life vision, owning your life and focus help you to get where you want to go. At MaXXYou high achievers discover if there is even a better version of themselves to be found, being truthfully and uniquely themselves.
Having the guts to do things, even when it scares you (a little) is the other thing that makes a high achiever. Do the things that other people don't dare, and own it. And by doing just that, live a life according to your own needs and expectations. High achievers nonetheless can fall into the high achievement trap. They keep on taking actions and achieve because they feel its expected. But the question is, is it what they truly want. Yvonne Looije helps these high achievers to make clever choices and habits in work and live, for every day. To take these steps takes guts - are you ready to take the leap?
