Business for Humans, Ep. 101. Nobody Told You to Push to Your Maximum. Jaime Gennaro, business coach and founder of Practica Consulting, explains why constantly pushing to your maximum leads to burnout and how sustaining a steady, sustainable pace preserves energy, alignment, and long-term performance.

She offers practical mindset shifts—ask why you push so hard, practice "B-minus" work, and build a bridge from "I’m not good enough" to "I am enough"—so you can work effectively without burning out.

Imposter syndrome isn’t just self-doubt—it’s the persistent feeling that you’re a fraud, despite clear evidence of your competence.

And when that belief takes hold, it changes how you work. Instead of trusting your abilities, you start compensating:

• You say yes to everything

• You over-prepare

• You push harder and longer than necessary

• You chase perfection to avoid being “found out”

In other words, overworking becomes a coping strategy.
