We all sometimes have perfectionist tendencies.  Most humanitarians want to do great work!  However, when this desire to do great work makes us more stressed, prevents us from turning things in and keeps us paralyzed, perfectionism can ironically lead to imperfectionism.

None of us need added stress in our lives, and we all want to get things in on time, so how can we overcome the need for "perfect"? 

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Common traits of perfectionism 
  • Where perfectionism comes from
  • The consequences of perfectionism
  • Perfectionism and your identity 
  • Five steps to overcome perfectionism
  • How perfectionism leads to lower quality work 
  • And more!
