The Achievers Podcast: Get out of your own way and find success

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. If you've ever assumed top reps are just built differently, this episode is going to be a relief. I was on a call with a client recently and told them I experience imposter syndrome, too. Their reaction was basically, "Wait… YOU?" And honestly, that's exactly why I wanted to record this. Because I've coached hundreds of enterprise and strategic AEs over the past eight years, including reps who became #1 on their team, #1 in their org, hit President's Club, closed mega deals, and earned seven figures in commission. And here's the truth: they're not robots. They're normal humans with self-doubt, insecurity, and imposter syndrome… they've just learned how to work with their brain instead of letting it run the show. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually happening inside the heads of top performers, and the simple mindset shifts they use to stay consultative, confident, and consistent even when their inner critic is loud.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:      ↠ The surprising truth about top reps: they still struggle with self-doubt      ↠ What actually separates top performers from the reps who stay stuck      ↠ Why belief is the real differentiator (and how to build it)      ↠ The strength-first approach: optimize what you're good at instead of "fixing" everything      ↠ My favorite mantra for nervous systems that spiral: "I always figure it out."      ↠ How to stop being trapped in your head by getting into the buyer's world      ↠ The consultative mindset shift that makes you instantly more confident      ↠ Detaching from the outcome so you stop selling from scarcity      ↠ The real goal of selling: solve real problems, don't pressure people      ↠ Why imposter syndrome hits women, men, and minorities and why feeling "different" amplifies it      ↠ Small tweaks that create massive performance results (the batting coach approach)      ↠ Why you're closer than you think to your best year ever   PS.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. If planning feels heavy, annoying, or like one more thing on your to-do list, this episode is for you. Most sellers either: • Don't plan at all and spend the day putting out fires, or • Try to follow someone else's "perfect system" and assume they are the problem when it doesn't work. You don't need a complicated notion board or a 2-hour CEO block. You need a simple way to decide in advance what matters most, and keep it where you can actually see it. In this episode, I walk you through a planning shift that takes 5-7 minutes and can easily give you two hours back in your day by cutting down decision fatigue, distractions, and low-value busywork.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:      ↠ Why planning is simply making decisions in advance (and why that matters)      ↠ The biggest mistake sellers make: mixing planning and execution together      ↠ How a 5-7 minute planning ritual can save you hours of wasted time      ↠ Why your plan needs to live in your visual space (Post-its, tick charts, simple paper)      ↠ Treating your future self like an employee you're setting up for success      ↠ A Monday "list-making day" for when you struggle to get going      ↠ Daily planning: morning vs end-of-day  and how to stop night-time rumination      ↠ What actually happens to your quota when you "just start working" without a plan      ↠ Different rhythms to test: daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly planning      ↠ Using a 12 Week Year-style quarter to make decisions once and simply execute      ↠ How to build a personal operating system that makes sense to you (not LinkedIn)      ↠ Dropping the "shoulds" and letting your planning style match your actual brain   PS.

I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. If you've ever taken the Enneagram and discovered you're a Type 3 (The Achiever) or if you simply act like one, this episode will feel like someone finally put words to your inner world. Achievers push themselves relentlessly. They hit goal after goal. They look wildly successful from the outside… …while quietly feeling like they're only as good as their last accomplishment. In this episode, I break down what drives Enneagram 3s, why achievement becomes tied to self-worth, and how to break out of the "always chasing, never satisfied" cycle without losing your ambition. You'll walk away with practical tools to feel more grounded, worthy, and whole, without losing the part of you that loves to grow.     🎯 In this episode, I riff on:      ↠ What it actually means to be an Enneagram 3      ↠ Why Achievers tie their value to success (and where that starts)      ↠ Childhood moments that wire achievement into our identity      ↠ The endless pressure to measure worth by quotas, results, and milestones      ↠ The trap of never remembering your wins      ↠ The gap vs. the gain (and why it matters so much for 3s)      ↠ Why personal development can become a weapon against yourself      ↠ The power of feeling emotions instead of "fixing" yourself      ↠ How growth can still be fun, without defining your worth      ↠ What changes when you believe you're already whole   PS.

You're not broken because your last few jobs haven't worked. You're not flaky because you're already thinking about leaving… again. You're not "bad at work" because your current role feels like slogging through wet cement. You might just be a really great plant… in the wrong environment. In this episode, I'm sharing my "humans as plants" framework to help you figure out whether the problem is you or the job, how to understand what kind of environment you actually thrive in, and how to start looking for roles that are a match for your nervous system, your ambition, and your brain. If you've ever thought, "Maybe I just got lucky before and I'm actually not that good," this one is for you.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:      ↠ Why a string of "bad jobs" doesn't mean you're a bad employee      ↠ The "humans as plants" framework and what it reveals about job fit      ↠ How the wrong environment quietly erodes your confidence and performance      ↠ My own story of coming back from maternity leave and suddenly feeling like a failure      ↠ Specific questions to ask yourself about company size, stage, culture, sales cycle, and mission      ↠ How to audit your past managers (best and worst) to decode your "plant care instructions"      ↠ What your brain's ARAS filter is and how to use it to actually find better opportunities      ↠ How to decide if you should reshape your current role or start planning an exit      ↠ Why it's okay if this job is not a fit and what to do next without burning everything down   PS.

You don't need a 5am routine. You need a rhythm that actually fits you. If you're someone who craves structure but instantly rebels the moment you try to create it, you're not broken. You're not undisciplined. You're not "bad at routines." You're a human with a nervous system and a brain that likes freedom, and there's nothing wrong with that. You don't need perfect consistency to thrive. You just need rhythm. You just need tools that meet you where you are, not where some imaginary version of you "should" be. In this episode, I'm sharing four strategies that help you build focus, accountability, and flow without overpowering your natural way of being. These are the tools I use myself on the days when structure feels impossible and my inner rebel wants to throw the whole plan away.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:      ↠ Why consistency isn't a moral virtue — it's a tool, not a personality test      ↠ How to check in daily without judgment and meet yourself where you are      ↠ The "toolbox" method that makes discipline flexible      ↠ Why quick recovery beats perfect consistency every time      ↠ How to rename tasks to trick your brain into enjoying structure      ↠ The subtle psychology of self-compassion and productivity   PS.

I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Most people don't have "bad careers." They have the wrong environment. If you've ever wondered why you can crush it in one role and completely flounder in another, this episode will blow your mind.  I'll show you how to identify your ideal work environment using a simple framework I call "People as Plants." We'll look at what kind of soil, light, and water you need to thrive, and how to spot those conditions before you even accept the offer. You'll learn how to ask smarter interview questions, rebuild self-trust after layoffs, and use neuroscience to find (and recognize) your dream job faster. If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "What's wrong with me?", this episode is the answer.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:      ↠ Why so many high performers get stuck in jobs that aren't right for them      ↠ How your brain and body actually know when something's not a fit      ↠ The "people as plants" framework to find your perfect environment      ↠ How layoffs, fear, and job trauma cloud your self-trust      ↠ The science behind manifesting (and why it's not magic, it's neuroscience      ↠ How to use your RAS to spot dream opportunities faster      ↠ The exact questions to ask in interviews to make sure they're a fit for you      ↠ Why vulnerability and self-awareness make hiring managers fall in love with you   PS.

Looking for a new job can be brutal. Even just thinking about interviews can make your stomach flip. But what if interviewing didn't have to feel like a performance? What if it were just two humans trying to see if they'd actually enjoy working together? In this episode, I share the exact mindset I've taught my clients who've landed dream jobs at Fortune 50 companies, jobs that not only paid better but felt better. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to interview with confidence, authenticity, and self-awareness (without pretending to be someone you're not). 🎯In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why you were only invited to the interview because they already know you can do the job     ↠ How to stop performing and start connecting     ↠ The 50/50 rule for interviews (and why most people get it wrong)     ↠ What hiring managers really want to know about you     ↠ How to shift from "Do they like me?" to "Do I like them?"     ↠ Why self-awareness and vulnerability make you unforgettable     ↠ The mindset that dissolves interview anxiety in seconds   PS.

You've saved every productivity post on LinkedIn. You've bookmarked all the "morning routine" hacks. You've bought the course. Watched the webinar. Took the notes. And then… nothing changes. If that's you, SAME!!. In this episode, I'll show you exactly why your good intentions never seem to stick, and the science-backed ways to finally turn those tiny promises to yourself into automatic habits. You don't need more willpower. You need structure, psychology, and compassion for how your brain actually works.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ The 3-part anatomy of every habit: cue, behavior, reward     ↠ How to reprogram habits that aren't serving you     ↠ Why your brain resists new routines (and how to override it)     ↠ The "approved list" trick for getting your brain on board     ↠ Why breaking habits into ridiculously small steps actually works     ↠ How to use habit stacking to make new behaviors automatic     ↠ The real reason consistency feels so hard, and how to make it easier   PS.

You're on a call with a big exec. You're trying to sound confident. And then it hits that little voice that says, "They can see through me." Your heart starts pounding. You talk too fast. You start filling the silence. It feels horrible. Here's the secret: everyone feels it. Even the top 1% of sellers, the ones winning awards and taking home million-dollar commissions,  feel that same nervous energy. The difference? They know how to move through it. In this episode, I'll teach you how to quiet the spiral, drop out of your head, and show up from your best energy, calm, connected, and confident. Because confidence isn't about "knowing everything." It's about caring more than you fear.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why even elite sellers feel insecure (and what that really means)     ↠ How to shift from self-consciousness to service-consciousness     ↠ The reframe that instantly pulls you out of overthinking     ↠ What to do when your nervous system spikes mid-call     ↠ The mindset that top performers use to release outcome attachment     ↠ How to create psychological safety for your buyers     ↠ Why service always dissolves anxiety faster than strategy ever could   PS.

We spend our whole lives trying to outthink emotions. We outwork them. Outrun them. Numb them with busyness and "productivity." But the truth is, it's not your calendar, your system, or your discipline that's holding you back. It's the one thing you refuse to feel. Fear. Embarrassment. Shame. Whatever it is, you've built your whole life around not feeling it. And that's what's keeping you stuck. In this episode, I'll walk you into the part nobody talks about, where every goal you want lives on the other side of a feeling you've been avoiding. I'll teach you how to sit with it, how to let it move, and how to discover that it was never as scary as you thought. Because once you can feel anything, You can create everything.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why emotions, not effort, are what keep high achievers stuck     ↠ The wild truth that your "worst case scenario" is just a physical sensation     ↠ The $30K Charley Horse experiment that rewires your brain's fear loop     ↠ My Home Run Derby story that proves sadness only lasts 90 seconds     ↠ How to stop intellectualizing and start actually feeling     ↠ The difference between being in emotions and being with them     ↠ Why your emotions aren't facts, but they're sacred data   PS.

Do you feel like you have to force yourself through every day, grind, hustle, and motivate yourself with fear? You're not alone. High achievers are experts at self-pressure. But at a certain point in your career, that approach stops working. You've built the skills. You've done the work. And now the next level isn't about pushing harder, it's about softening. In this episode, I'll teach you how to remove the resistance that's keeping you tired, anxious, and stuck in overdrive. You'll learn how to trust yourself more deeply, feel your emotions without getting lost in them, and finally experience flow again, in your work and your life.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why the hustle that got you here won't get you there     ↠ How fear-based motivation secretly sabotages long-term success     ↠ The "boogeyman" fear loop that drives overachievement and burnout     ↠ Why we resist emotions, and what happens when we allow them     ↠ How to stop overworking and start trusting your intuition at work     ↠ The "Home Run Derby" story, the day I finally let myself cry in public     ↠ How softening clarifies decisions, boosts focus, and restores creativity     ↠ What if the boogeyman never catches you?

You don't need another productivity app or "grind harder" hack. What do you really need? A regulated nervous system. When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight, everything feels harder. You're stressed, anxious, scattered, and you can't access your best thinking. But when your system is calm, you show up sharper, more creative, and more present. In this episode, I'll show you how to shift your body out of survival mode and back into calm, in minutes. These tools aren't just for performance in sales calls or big meetings… they're for parenting, relationships, and everyday life.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why nervous system regulation is the real key to results (and joy)     ↠ The "car analogy" that proves achievement won't fix your inner state     ↠ Fight-or-flight vs rest-and-digest, what's happening in your body     ↠ The fastest reset: breathing techniques used by Navy SEALS     ↠ The "deer trick" to shake stress out of your body     ↠ Grounding practices, movement, and mindfulness that actually work     ↠ My favorite self-compassion and mantra practices for calm confidence   PS.

I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. I'm weirdly passionate about adult friendships, mostly because no one teaches us how to do them. As kids, friendships just happen. You sit next to someone in class, or play on the same team, and boom! BEST FRIENDS. But as adults? It feels awkward. You want deeper friendships, but how do you even start? You can't exactly walk up to someone at the park and say, "Hey, want to be my best friend?" Here's the good news: friendships aren't magic. They're built. And there's actual research, practical strategies, and even some scripts that make it so much easier.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:    ↠ Why adult friendships feel harder than childhood friendships    ↠ The research: how many hours it really takes to move from acquaintance → friend → best friend    ↠ Why you don't need one "perfect best friend" (and how to build a friendship portfolio instead)    ↠ How to practice showing up, even when messy and awkward    ↠ Catchphrases and conversation starters that actually work    ↠ How to move past surface-level small talk and into a deep, lasting connection    ↠ Why vulnerability is the key to being fully seen in your friendships    ↠ The quirky mindset shift that helps me revive friendships, even after 10 years apart   PS.

I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Most of us think that being hard on ourselves is what drives results. Hustle. Grind. Fear. The inner critic. We've trained ourselves to believe that's what works. But here's the truth: it works until it burns you out. If you actually want higher performance, faster recovery, and long-term success, the secret isn't pushing harder. It's practicing self-compassion. Not fluffy, feel-good stuff. The science shows it increases resilience, motivation, and performance. In this episode, I share the research, my own resistance to self-compassion, and the exact techniques I used (yes, even asking ChatGPT for help) that changed everything.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why "hustle harder" is a short-term strategy that leads to burnout     ↠ What the research shows about self-compassion and higher motivation     ↠ What the research shows about self-compassion and higher motivation     ↠ My own resistance (and how I literally had to learn this from scratch)     ↠ Why self-compassion feels so foreign if it wasn't modeled for you     ↠ How I practiced it with ChatGPT as my "coach" and what changed     ↠ The Disneyland story: how compassion fueled productivity     ↠ Techniques for meeting your younger selves with compassion     ↠ Practical tactics: normalize feelings, meet yourself where you are, and break down tasks   PS.

I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. We've all been told, "Success is on the other side of consistency." Books like The Compound Effect make it sound like the only way forward is to stick to a habit perfectly, forever. But what if that's not true for you? What if consistency is nearly impossible, and beating yourself up about it is doing more damage than good? In this episode, I share what I've learned (with ADHD and from hundreds of high-achieving clients) about why traditional consistency advice doesn't always work and the surprising reframe that can actually make you more consistent by trying less hard to be consistent.   🎯 In this episode, I riff on:     ↠ Why "be consistent" advice leaves so many of us stuck in shame     ↠ How ADHD brains (and high achievers) are wired for uneven energy     ↠ Why forcing consistency often backfires and fuels burnout     ↠ The fast recovery strategy that actually builds momentum     ↠ How to set realistic expectations by checking your daily energy     ↠ Why lowering the bar can leave you feeling more accomplished     ↠ The mantra that keeps me grounded: "I won't miss two."   PS.

Do you secretly dread hearing the words "I have some feedback for you"? Same. I know feedback is supposed to make us better but for so many of us, especially high achievers with ADHD or imposter feelings, feedback feels like a gut punch. Instead of fueling growth, it can send us into shame spirals, rejection sensitivity, or black-and-white thinking that leaves us doubting ourselves. In this episode, I share my own journey with feedback, the books, the frameworks, and the mindset shifts that finally freed me from feeling crushed every time someone pointed out an area to improve. You'll learn how to tell the difference between appreciation, coaching, and evaluation feedback… plus how to spot the triggers that make feedback feel unbearable and what to do with them. Feedback doesn't have to be your enemy. In fact, it can become one of the most powerful accelerators of your career and confidence, once you learn how to metabolize it.   🎯 In this episode:     ↠ Why feedback feels threatening (especially with ADHD & rejection sensitivity)     ↠ The 3 types of feedback: appreciation, coaching, evaluation     ↠ Reinforcing vs redirecting feedback (the hiking path analogy)     ↠ The 3 triggers that block feedback (truth, relationship, identity)     ↠ How to know if it's you or an environment mismatch     ↠ Why 90% of feedback can be trash, and how to mine the gold     ↠ How to reframe feedback as a tool, not a verdict   PS.

Do you cringe when someone asks, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" Most achievers love the idea of having a plan but freeze up trying to make one. In this episode, Amber walks you through a simple, values-based process to design a 5- and 10-year plan you'll actually stick with. No overwhelm, no overthinking… just clarity, direction, and next steps.   🎯 In this episode: ↠ Why classic 5-year planning feels impossible (it's not your fault) ↠ A quick values-first exercise that clarifies direction fast ↠ How to turn vague goals into checkable outcomes ↠ "Week in the life" prompts to design the future you actually want ↠ Why writing it down trains your RAS (reticular activating system) to spot opportunities   Pause the episode, do the prompts with me, and by the end you'll have a plan that feels inspiring, not overwhelming.   PS.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they work and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. This week's episode is something special. I'm sharing a raw, personal presentation I gave at Ian Koniak's Untap Your Sales Potential retreat, where the theme was Scars to Success. I reveal my full backstory: growing up in poverty, struggling with perfectionism, chasing achievement for self-worth and the breakdown that changed everything. You'll hear the painful (and funny) moments that shaped me, the survival strategies that got me far (until they didn't), and the emotional healing I had to do to finally feel like I was enough, exactly as I am. If you've ever felt like achievement is the only way to prove yourself, this episode will hit home in a powerful way.   🎯 In this episode:     ↠ Growing up in chaos, and how it shaped my nervous system     ↠ Using achievement as a way to earn love and worth     ↠ Why people-pleasing and perfectionism eventually collapse     ↠ The burnout moment that forced me to finally look inward     ↠ Learning self-compassion and modeling it for the first time     ↠ Why you don't need to fix yourself to be worthy     ↠ The power of "protecting the asset" (aka YOU)     ↠ What growth looks like without proving yourself  Watch the full visualization here: https://youtu.be/UNIRE-m2FF4   Ready to finally feel focused again? ▶️ Press play, take notes, and try one small shift today.   PS.
