Tune in and let the shift begin. GEMS DROPPED "Achievement has a cut-off point; it's time to shift from being the achiever to embracing the artist within." "In a world of achievement, there's a scarcity hierarchy baked in because not everyone can reach the top. It's time to redefine success beyond achievement." "Transitioning from achievement to artistry requires letting go of the need to constantly prove oneself and embracing the unknown of creating your own path." "Being a high achiever is like playing by a fixed menu; stepping into artistry means creating your own secret menu, even if the page is blank." "As an artist, you need to be in touch with your sensory being, understanding what activates you, where you shine, and what uniquely belongs to you." "The shift from achiever to artist involves doing a whole lot less, embracing stillness, reflection, and the less tangible, yet powerful, work of creation." "You're no longer qualified for roles you excelled in decades ago; your value now lies in the invisible, visionary work that sets the stage for impactful change." "Transitioning to artistry requires taking small steps, aligning with an executive coach, therapy, or activities that nourish your inner creative being." "Your job is to prioritize activities that resonate with your inner artist, even if they seem unrelated to traditional notions of success." "Embrace the discomfort and grieving process of letting go of old identities; prioritize wisdom, vision, and time freedom to enact the influence you desire."
