Break Free from the Trap of Ambition

Are you an overachiever who feels unfulfilled despite your success? For those driven by ambition, perfectionism, and a relentless pursuit of more, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. In Gilded, Keren Eldad explores why so many high performers—whether C-suite executives or go-getters—feel trapped by the very success they sought, finding themselves unfulfilled despite outward achievements.

Do you want to break free from the pressure of always needing more? If you're tired of perfectionism anxiety and constantly moving the goalposts of success, Gilded offers a fresh perspective. Drawing from executive coaching and personal experiences, Eldad provides practical strategies to help you step out of the gilded cage, stop chasing hollow victories, and start living a life of genuine abundance and fulfillment.

Inside, you'll find

● Actionable strategies to overcome perfectionism anxiety and embrace self-reflection for lasting personal growth.

● Practical insights for high performers and leaders who seek purpose beyond external success.

● Tools from executive coaching designed to help you redefine your ambitions and live authentically.
