I had so much fun nerding out with Rachael Bosch in this recent Fringe Chat on Perfectionism in the Workplace. In addition to discussing our own perfectionism recovery stories (and why it's ok that they're ongoing!), Rachael and I explored the important differences between perfectionism and excellence and unpacked why the former can actually preclude our ability to achieve the latter. We also dug into the neuroscience behind why self-criticism is effectively self-sabotage, and why self-compassion (as counterintuitive as it may sound) is actually a superpower rather than a soft and squishy self-indulgence. Finally, we discussed the why and how of humanizing the workplace and concrete steps leaders and mentors can take to create a culture of growth mindset and psychological safety that brings out the best in their people. Oh... and Rachael plays her singing bowl :) Check it out via the link below and let us know what you think! #perfectionism #growthmindset #positivelawyering

I have really enjoyed your programs on Perfectionism, Jordana. I appreciate how you acknowledge the importance of perfectionism for being a well-manicured legal professional. However, you also emphasize the need to turn this superpower off in other aspects of our lives to avoid well-being challenges. Thank you for all the hard work you do to help legal professionals improve their well-being.

You have seriously changed so much about how I deal with myself and my anxiety, and it’s been SO HELPFUL!!! I literally will re-listen to your episode of our podcast when I need reminders/reassurance. Love that you keep spreading the word, you’re going to help so many people. ❤️
