Beyond Promotions and Paychecks: A Blueprint for Deeper Happiness for Ambitious Women Leaders

Today, I want to share something I originally wrote as an email to one of my coaching clients. It touches on something that shapes nearly everything we do: the pursuit of happiness.

Here’s the context. One of my clients is an executive at a major tech company. She’s leading a bold new initiative that involves hiring, retaining, and coaching a team of sharp, high-performing people who can deliver results fast.

She’s working hard. She’s making real progress. And in one of our sessions, a powerful question came up:

How do I maximize happiness in this role? 

In this episode you'll learn: 

• The difference between transactional and inherent happiness—and why most of us are addicted to the former
• A personal story about the moment that shifted my perspective on success and fulfillment
• What a rickshaw driver taught me about joy, even in the absence of wealth or status
• Why chasing happiness through promotions, praise, and paychecks can quietly lead to burnout
• How embracing complexity and paradox can unlock a more sustainable sense of well-being
• What I told a tech executive client who asked how to maximize happiness in a high-pressure leadership role
• The surprising reason my clients often reach their goals faster when they stop clinging to specific outcomes
• A practical invitation to map your own Blueprint to Confidence—and redefine success on your terms: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/apply
