Overcoming Negativity with David Shechtman

Have you ever had that burned out feeling when trying to hit your goals? Have you always felt unsure in trying new things or faced with something unexpected? These feelings are totally normal but there is a way to overcome them.

In this episode of Elite Achievement, Kristin talks to David Shechtman in an empowering discussion on overcoming the roadblocks that prevent us from growing. They discuss how coaching can help you face your fear and harness growth from it. We will learn to ‘sort and throw’ when you have head trash or a negative mindset. Listen as they discuss scaling up without beating yourself up to work. Expect a discussion that will clarify your thoughts and push for self-care to achieve your goals. 

Episode Highlights:

14:37 - So there's this sense that I don't know exactly what I'm doing. I am not sure where this is leading, there are no guarantees of an outcome. But I'm confident that I'll figure it out along the way.

22:19 – I actually now believe that self care is maybe one of the keys to making it through the challenges and ups and downs of growth and of transformation as people go through it.

30:20 - I think there's actually a point where it flips and the harder you work, the less effective you become. Because it's draining your energy.

37:25 - We need to be mindful of those negative mental narratives that show up on that pathway for change in growth.

About the Podcast

Elite Achievement
A leadership and execution podcast for financial advisors and firm leaders
Elite Achievement with Kristin Burke

You’re a financial advisor. Your calendar is booked with back-to-back client meetings. You have a vision to grow your firm. You’re not sure if you have the right team in place. You’re holding on to work you know you should be delegating. You want to spend more time doing complex planning and working with your best clients, but you’re still trying to deliver for every client in your book.

At the end of the day, you’re still the one driving the revenue.

Or…

You’re leading a team of financial advisors or a firm. You’re responsible for growth, but don’t produce the results yourself. They come through the people you recruit, develop, and retain. And many of them aren’t traditional employees, which means you’re leading as much through influence as you are through expectations and accountability.

Your calendar is full, but your time doesn’t always feel well spent. You start the day with a plan, and it quickly shifts as people come to you with questions, challenges, and decisions that need your input.

You’re constantly balancing competing priorities. Attracting and bringing in new talent. Launching and developing new financial advisors. Supporting career advisors as they continue to grow. Having difficult conversations when someone isn’t performing. Protecting the culture and keeping everyone aligned to the vision.

At the end of the day, you’re still accountable for the results.

Different roles. Same challenges.

How do you create clarity around your vision and get others aligned to it?

How do you focus on the right priorities when everything feels important?

How do you develop people and hold a high standard of performance?

How do you lead effectively while still driving results?

This is the work of Elite Achievement.

A leadership and execution podcast for financial advisors and firm leaders who are building and scaling a firm and being challenged to lead at a higher level as success becomes less about your individual effort and more about how you lead.

Kristin Burke brings over 20 years of industry experience and works closely with financial advisors and firm leaders as they build firms, develop people, and navigate the challenges that come with growth.

Elite Achievement is about setting a bold vision, executing consistently, and becoming the kind of leader capable of building a legacy.
