The Edge of Enough

High achievers, praised for their relentless drive, walk a dangerous tightrope. Balancing burnout, strained relationships and eroding well-being. The irony? The harder they push, the more they risk losing the very success they seek. Winner of the Literary Titan Book Award, the Edge of Enough is a must-read for those caught in this cycle of overachievement, their leaders, and the organisations that depend on them. Combining personal stories with compelling research and interviews, this book offers a pathway to sustainable high performance. In The Edge of Enough, you’ll discover: • The true cost of overachievement and how to overcome it • A 4-step framework to thrive without burning out • Case studies from Emma’s consulting and coaching work • A roadmap to cultivate a sustainable high-performance culture "A groundbreaking read that finally addresses how high achievers and their teams can sustain excellence without sacrificing health" Silvia Martin Bank CEO and Board member "For the ongoing discourse on women in leadership, capturing powerful stories and providing actionable insights is critical. The Edge of Enough challenges the myth of perfection and shows how sustainable success comes from clarity, resilience, and authenticity."
