    About this event

    It’s so easy to get carried away and strive for 100 percent—or more if only we could!—at all times, going on and on and never finishing. But perfectionism is a waste of time and energy, not a healthy habit: it’s chasing an illusion of “perfect” when in reality all we try to do is make sure that we are worthy and what we do is good enough.

    We will discuss the difference between being a perfectionist and striving for excellence, how the desire to be perfect creates obstacles in our lives, and how we can overcome these and truly let go of our need to be perfect. You will leave the session with a strategy to become a confident imperfectionist and feel more comfortable in your professional environment and role.

    Takeaways

    In this workshop, we will talk about what perfectionism is as opposed to diligence and ambition, the different ways in which it presents an obstacle in people’s lives, and how we can leave it behind to focus on excellence instead. You will leave with an actionable list of strategies and tools that can help you make positive changes and strengthen confidence in yourself and your work.

    • This workshop is for anyone who is ready to stop wasting time and energy and second-guessing themselves.
    • Learn to feel more comfortable in their professional environment and their role.
    • Gain strategies to explore new opportunities and get stuff done.
