We've all been guilty of trying to be perfect. We run around our house making it look like a museum. We run our meetings with the proper agenda. We have this constant anxiety that goes along with trying to make the inevitably imperfect, perfect.

But what if instead of focusing on perfection, we instead focus on creating a vibe? A feeling, an aura, an environment that is more focused on the feeling we want people to have than the façade.

Well, Erin and Nicole have tested this out and holy schnikies, it changes everything!

Because here's the thing–people are sick of going through the motions, both at work and (especially) in life. When you focus on creating a vibe instead of the perfect charcuterie board or board meeting, people think and feel “Ahhhh, I was so sick of everyone’s perfection. This is the vibe I’ve been craving instead and didn’t even know it!”

Tune to hear how just this small shift in mindset has changed work and life for both Erin and Nicole, and to start thinking about where you can replace perfection with creating a vibe.
