#03: Let's talk about being perfect


Listen Later

Happy Monday Friends, we are back in your ears with another ‘Let’s Talk About’ ep! Join us as we chat all things ‘perfectionism’.

WARNING: Be prepared for us to drop some truth bombs today.

Do you strive for perfectionism when it comes to your career or your life?

Feel like being perfect is the only way to achieve your goals?

Think being "perfect" is a good thing? 

So did we, until we unpacked what perfectionism really is.

We need to stop viewing perfectionism as a positive trait and understand the ways it is actually holding us back.

That’s right, aiming to be perfect doesn’t help us unlock success, it prevents it. 

Join us as we discuss:

  • Striving for excellence VS perfectionism (spoiler alert, they are not the same thing)
  • How your environment could be unintentionally influencing your desire to be perfect and how to take advantage of it
  • Why you need to stop carrying perfectionism it around like a badge of honour
  • The surprising link between procrastination and perfectionism that might be holding you back 
  • How trying to be perfect is a roadblock to your successful career and life
  • And most importantly, how to move out of a perfectionist mindset (and why the first step is often overlooked)
