Mental Health and High Performance: Navigating the Performance Paradox

For high achievers in the insurance industry, there is a near-constant focus on outcomes, advancement, promotion, development, and improvement. This session explores the impact of that attention on how people perceive and experience the world, looking specifically at perfectionism and feelings of self-doubt. When we are constantly striving to be more, how can we ever feel enough? The answer is to work with, not against, our own mental health. Together, we can leverage the social, emotional, and psychological resources within each of us to meaningfully address the paradox that sits at the heart of performance. This session will explore why high performance in the insurance industry is particularly complicated and how to better understand tools and strategies to work with our mental health.
