The Goal-First Life-Work Design Framework: why your efforts don't pay off much

Angela Shurina Season 2025

Why do we so often work incredibly hard without seeing the results we want?   

The answer lies not in our effort, but in how we design that effort. 

Drawing from an insightful MIT Sloan Management Review study on leadership development programs, this episode reveals 3 critical mistakes that prevent both organizations and individuals from achieving meaningful growth. These same principles explain why many of us struggle to reach personal and professional goals despite genuine commitment. 

The first fatal flaw?... tune in to find out!  


With this powerful framework you'll ensure your valuable time and energy create the future you truly desire, rather than simply keeping you busy with tasks that ultimately lead nowhere.  

Are you just doing things, or are you designing efforts that add up to something meaningful?
