Chasing Enough Live

Everyone gets your best. You get what’s left. This night is the other way around. You are not underperforming. You are running a strategy that used to work. It got you the company, the role, the reputation, the thing you said you’d have by now. It is also the reason you cannot stop, or cannot start, and why hitting the target keeps not feeling like anything. That strategy has a name. There are six of them. And there is a version of your ambition that does not cost you this much. To celebrate the launch of Chasing Enough: The High Achievers Guide to Sustainable Success... I’m bringing Chasing Enough to Calgary for one night, in a room I’m keeping deliberately small. You give a lot. My whole goal is that you leave full. First, what this is not This is not an evening about wanting less. Nobody is going to ask you to lower the bar, slow down, or find balance. Ending the chase does not mean handing your ambition back. It means demanding more, out loud, from a shorter list. The night Fireside. A real conversation hosted by James Boettcher ( my husband ) about what success is actually costing high achievers, and what to build instead. Unscripted, we're talking about the work behind the work, what ambition costs two high-achievers who are in the trenches, building every day. The reading. I’ll read from Chasing Enough before anyone else has it, including two sections that almost didn’t survive the edit. The table. Guided convos with people in your city carrying the same weight. Come alone. You will not leave feeling that way. What you leave with A finish line you’ve said out loud, so you’ll actually know when you’ve won. Your own definition of success, instead of the one you inherited or borrowed from someone in your feed. One clean no, and what it’s worth. The name of the pattern you’ve been running, and the first move to put it down. Rest treated as infrastructure instead of a reward you never claim. Chasing is a nervous system. Choosing is a decision. This night is for The executive who hit the number and felt nothing, and was onto the next thing by Monday. The leader everyone leans on, who has nobody to lean on. The one who is always three steps ahead, scanning for what could go wrong. The person who would rather burn out than let someone down. The one who can see the next chapter clearly and still hasn’t started it. Always almost ready. The one with the thing that’s been ninety percent done for a year. And the person who is always "fine." One of those will make you flinch. That’s the one. Before you come Take the five-minute Armor Pattern Quiz at mandybalak.com/quiz. It tells you which of the six you’re running. Every ticket includes A signed first-printing copy of Chasing Enough, in your hands that night. The audiobook, in your inbox before you arrive, so you can start on the drive. A drink, cocktail or mocktail, and delicious food on arrival. About the book You are not out of time. You are out of capacity. Those are different problems, and only one of them has a calendar fix. Chasing Enough names the six patterns underneath burning out and stalling out, where they came from, and what to build instead. It asks what this is costing, and whether you’re still willing to pay it.
