You are good at your job. But chances are, the most valuable thing you bring to your work is not even listed in your job description.
High achievers do not just perform their roles. They solve problems nobody assigned them. They develop people without the coaching title. They build systems that outlast them. They hold teams together in ways that never show up in a performance review.
That is what Dr. Nic calls the Strengths Tax — and in Episode 4 of Adulting In My Purpose, she is breaking down exactly how it works and what it is costing you.
In this episode you will learn:
— What the Strengths Tax is and why high achievers keep paying it without realizing it
— The 4 types of informal labor most professionals give away for free
— 3 audit questions to identify what your work is actually worth on the open market
— Why ease does not equal low value — and how to stop underpricing what comes naturally to you
If you have ever felt like you were doing more than your job description but getting paid for less than your contribution, this episode will give you the language, the framework, and the next step.
