About

Chris Lipcsei, Internal Family Systems practitioner

The world benefits from every overachiever who fulfils their true purpose.

Does your career no longer fulfill you?

High performance comes at a cost—especially when your sense of worth is built on external milestones. The overachiever’s path often leads to quiet burnout, identity confusion, and a deep question: what next?

I’ve been there. As a former McKinsey consultant and Google strategist, I had the résumé for anything, but my confidence was tied to other people’s standards—job titles, promotions, and elite institutions. Breaking free from that identity was the hardest and most rewarding transformation I’ve ever gone through.

Now, I help executives, consultants, and high performers like you transition from overachievement to fulfilling their purpose. Using Internal Family Systems coaching, I guide you through the subconscious patterns that hold you stuck—so you can redefine success on your own terms.

Are you ready to create a career and life that are truly yours?

About Me

A year into my MBA at Stanford, I realized that climbing higher wasn’t the answer—I needed a new direction. I had spent years excelling at McKinsey, but my sense of self was shaped by the expectations of my industry, my colleagues, and the institutions I worked so hard to impress.

After Stanford, I joined Google’s central strategy team, but I was already deep in my personal transformation—unraveling the overachiever identity that had defined me for so long. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed coaching, I finally regained my sense of agency and reconnected with what I truly wanted.

When I was laid off from Google in 2023, I took my coaching practice full-time. Today, I help high performers navigate the same transition—moving from relentless achievement to sustainable fulfillment.
