Welcome, everyone, to our Fireside Chat series — where we sit down with inspiring authors from Corporate to Calling to explore their stories of transformation, truth, and purpose. Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by Helen Holton, a thought leader who helps individuals reconnect with their perfectionism.

Highlights include:

• The moment Helen realized her “corporate success” was costing her authenticity
• How perfectionism can be reframed as precision, care, and excellence — without the burnout

• Helen’s top practices for transforming inner criticism into creative fuel
• Why embracing imperfection is the gateway to impact

This conversation is a reminder that the path from corporate to calling isn’t about abandoning ambition — it’s about aligning it with meaning.
