What if your high performance is actually hiding a crisis? In this episode of Leadership That Sells, I’m joined by transformational coach and multilingual speaker Daniel Castro – a former finance exec turned burnout-buster. Together we explore why high-achievers often find themselves stuck, despite hitting all the targets, and how to begin the journey back to purpose. We break down Daniel’s CASVI Method – a powerful framework that reconnects success-driven professionals with meaning, energy and clarity. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing well but not feeling well,” this one’s for you. We talk identity, self-leadership, burnout, energy management, and why true leadership often starts with simply stopping. This is about transforming the way you lead – by transforming the way you live. How to shift from burnout to purpose Pause – Start by stopping. High achievers rarely pause to question their trajectory. Clarity begins with stillness. Clarity – Understand your beliefs, motivations, values and what brought you here. Redefine success on your terms. Awareness – Stop drifting. Start noticing. From posture to thoughts, cultivate conscious awareness. Sense of purpose – Discover your unique strengths and apply them in service to something bigger than yourself. Vitality – Guard your energy. What you eat, consume, think and feel – it all affects your performance. Integration – Knowledge without application is useless. Take action. Make it real. Make it daily.
