Be better at your job and your life...
without working harder
You've been successful because you're capable and committed.
But if your old strategies aren't working anymore, you're not failing - you're evolving.
You’ve always figured things out.
Until now.
You’ve built your success through hard work and coping strategies.
Now you’re exhausted, stretched thin, and wondering why it feels harder instead of easier.
You can’t work any harder.
And pushing through isn’t the answer anymore.
The problem isn’t you—it’s the one-size-fits-all advice
Most leadership and personal growth advice is generic.
It assumes the same tools work for everyone.
But you’ve outgrown your coping strategies.
And the advice that helped you get here isn’t what will help you next.
A more personal, human way to grow
I’m Tara O’Brien.
I’ve spent 20 years developing leaders at every level—executives, C-suite, entrepreneurs, managers, and aspiring leaders.
I don’t believe in pushing harder or fixing what isn’t broken.
I help people grow in ways that actually fit who they are now.
This newsletter is where that work begins.
