I was discussing with a client this week about being called a workaholic. I get called it a lot and my client had been called it this week. Another client told me she loves being referred to as ‘Superwoman’. We started unpacking it together and realised that, despite the usual negative spin, neither of us felt offended by it. For us, it was about passion, drive, and the joy of building something meaningful. You do have to be obsessed with what you’re building. Is that the same thing? Have you ever been called a workaholic? How do you or would you feel about being called a workaholic? - Does it land as criticism, or a compliment? - Where’s the line for you between working hard and working too much? Why not take a few minutes to journal on it, then share if you’re comfortable to do so. I’m gong to be digging further into this one myself and I’ll come back to share because we cant discuss this one without discussing burnout.
