The Enlightened Overachiever

The Enlightened Overachiever is a conversation about creativity and leadership — and how to make good things happen in the world.

I’m Laurence Shorter: author, thinker, and leadership coach. My work is about joining the dots between our inner worlds — the thoughts and feelings we live with every day — and the realities we shape together, at work and beyond.

My guests include entrepreneurs, artists, teachers, and thinkers. Together, we explore what it means to be a person in the world at this moment in history — with a brain, a heart, ideas and ambitions. Where are we going, how will we get there, and what’s being asked of us next?

If you’re engaged in building anything — businesses, lives, cultures — this podcast offers new perspectives on the complex challenges we face as we reimagine the future of work, meaning, and human potential.
