Many high-functioning people struggle with perfectionism. They may even be somewhat attached to their perfectionism because they associate it with a willingness to notice and correct their mistakes, a high level of conscientiousness and a desire to deliver their best effort.
However, many people are aware that their perfectionism may ironically be blocking them from learning new skills or giving their best performance. Perfectionism can also be demotivating, distracting, and draining of our energy. Constant second-guessing can result in procrastination, irritability, and reduced engagement. Dr Chloe is here to teach them how to extract the positive aspects of perfectionism while shedding the negatives. She emphasizes how to harness perfectionism into a more productive and joyful approach to work, relationships, or anywhere else where perfectionism may hinder success. Attendees will learn new perspectives and tools to manage perfectionism (almost!) perfectly.
