Work From The Inside Out 198: Achieve Your Career Goals Without Getting Burnt Out with Nicole Byers
Neuropsychologist Dr. Nicole Byers helps recovering perfectionists and high achievers stop the cycle of overwhelming to-do lists, procrastination, and self-doubt so they can achieve their goals without burning out.
"I’m a bit of a neuroscience nerd, and I’ve spent years learning how your brain works and what mental habits tank your productivity (including ones you probably don’t even notice!)"
When Nicole started university many years ago, she had no idea what she wanted to do or which direction to take. She didn’t like her first-year psychology classes at all. In her third year, Nicole began to connect the dots. She took a course called Introduction to Human Neuropsychology and found the professor to be such an excellent instructor that she volunteered to work in the professor’s lab. Later, Nicole convinced the same professor to be her mentor. She continued to work in her lab through graduate school, earning her master’s degree and a doctorate in clinical psychology.
Initially, Nicole worked in a hospital, part of Canada’s public health system, a pathway on which many with her credentials would spend their entire careers, but after several years she left to pursue private practice. This was not an easy decision, yet it was what she needed to do.
