Even after making a multiple six-figure salary, she wasn’t happy.
Recently, I spoke to a sales director from a billion-dollar company.
She had spent years building high-performing teams and consistently meeting revenue targets.
But something had shifted.
She no longer felt connected to her company’s products or mission. And the more she thought about it, the less motivated she felt.
Her numbers were strong. The title was impressive. On paper, everything looked great.
But without a deeper connection to the mission, her growth was stalling.
So I asked her this one simple question - "Do you feel proud of what you're building?"
She went silent for a moment, and then, after a long pause, she admitted, "I’m not sure, Richa”
That moment said everything.
Because this isn’t just her story - I’ve seen it over and over again. (even with high-performers working at FAANG)
You can only stay in execution mode for so long before it stops being enough.
At the highest levels, it’s not only about the money or the title - it’s about doing purpose-driven work that gets you excited every single day.
And if you’re not aligned with your company’s mission, you’re losing motivation and limiting your own growth.
That’s exactly what my client and I are working on together now.
Getting clear on what she truly wants next and positioning herself for a role where she’s not just closing multi-million dollar deals but driving meaningful impact.
Because when that happens, everything changes.
That’s when you feel true satisfaction in the career you’ve been longing for.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your work, it’s not just a rough patch. It’s time to take action to do something bigger.
