You’re probably doing better than you think. But you can’t see that now.

CoveyClub founder, Lesley Jane Seymour and Sanyin Siang, CEO coach, author, professor, and Executive Director of Duke University’s Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics team up to explain where the comparison trap came from, why we all fall into it (they do regularly!), and how to build your sense of self-worth by looking inward, instead of outward.
