Show Notes

Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for corporate women who want to land dream opportunities in their careers and get that recognition they so deserve.

In this episode, ''A Lemony Lesson in Perfectionism'  I am sharing some of my own lessons that I have learned about trying to aim for 'perfect' outcomes.

If you consider yourself a perfectionist... or are a 'recovering' perfectionist like me (!) then I am sure you'll squeeze loads of value out of this episode (pun totally intended)!

In this ep, I ....

  • Talk about the fears at the root cause of aiming for 'perfect' all the time...
  • So that you can learn how to take steps to combat that need to be 'perfect'
  • I share a story about a woman who hit burnout to such a degree that it gave her a heart attack...
  • And at some point, I talk a little bit about lemons.

Join me for this practical discussion and learn how to tame that desire for perfectionism!


Episode Quotes:

"We women can fall into that trap of trying to perfect can't we? Of being brutally hard on ourselves; of working extraordinarily hard. But the problem is... in the end... the work won't break, your boss won't break... but you will."  (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)
