An Olympian shares advice for high-achievers navigating career and
life transitions.
After achieving a major accomplishment or realizing a lifelong dream,
many high-performing individuals struggle to open a new chapter in life
with the same confidence and enthusiasm that fueled their previous
successes.
In Personal Next, former Olympic athlete Melinda Harrison examines the
difficulties people may face after reaching what seemed to be the height
of their careers. Through interviews with more than 100 elite athletes
and other high-achievers who navigated a major life transition, Harrison
distills nine key PRACTICES that support a successful pivot to a new
arena.
Harrison describes the arc of transition common to all high-performers,
including the ascent to peak achievement, the messy middle of change,
and the move toward new goals, challenges, and rewards. Woven throughout
the book are stories from elite athletes and high achievers, including
Harrison's own.
Life after the pinnacle of success doesn't have to be all downhill. If
you are struggling to find your feet after coming off a personal best,
reading this book will help you to prepare for success in your personal
next.
