'I'm a perfectionist' used to be a clever answer you'd give in an interview when they asked you what your greatest weakness was, hoping that this would be an impressive and desirable trait. However, now that research shows that it is linked to a raft of mental and physical health conditions, there is greater awareness of the more toxic side of perfectionism. This webinar will dive into the light and dark sides, the pressures we all face and why, as well as the steps you can take to break free from toxic perfectionism to have a life and career filled with far greater success, confidence and wellbeing.
