Are you often paralyzed by the need to be perfect in everything you do? Do you dwell on getting every detail right to prove yourself? Dive into the depths of why the obsession with perfection can be detrimental with our guest, Aliza Carpio.

In this eye-opening episode of the 'Speak Your Mind Unapologetically Podcast', Aliza Carpio - Director and Tech Evangelist at Autodesk, design thinking coach, co-founder of San Diego Design Week, and a recovering perfectionist with over 10 filed patents - uncovers the life lessons she’s learned throughout her remarkable career. Aliza imparts her belief that "communication, both written and spoken, is one of the most underrated skills in universities, yet the top skill needed for growth as a technologist."

Tune in to this episode to discover:

✔️Why focusing too much on thoroughness in your presentations can hinder your effectiveness

✔️The secret to presenting that earns you nods of approval, rather than critical scrutiny

✔️Strategies to overcome the debilitating pursuit of perfection that stands in the way of growth

✔️How an obsession with perfect data can be seen as a negative trait, and how to leverage design thinking principles instead

✔️The reasons why you should quit rehearsing your presentations endlessly

✔️The best system to receive iterative feedback on your presentations based on design thinking principles

Embrace the journey to self-growth, and let go of the destructive pursuit of perfection.
