What a day yesterday filled with learning and connection!
In the morning, it started with a fantastic Caffeinated Conversation on the topic of "Perfectionism" - a topic so many of us can relate to.
A few great reminders:
--Giving ourselves grace and acceptance on our evolving journeys
--Perfectionism could limit our overall progress - are we limiting ourselves by what we perceive to be "perfect" or the "final goal" ? Keep an open mind to all possibilities
--Failing forward is still momentum and a critical part of growth and development
--Flipping the script on negative self-talk and thinking about how we may give advice to our friends and family - do we speak to ourselves with the same grace and understanding?
To end the day, I was able to attend the Stories from Experience at Schneider to hear from Erin Van Zeeland. It was incredible to hear her story and passion for helping people achieve their full potential.
Some of the many nuggets of wisdom:
--Don't let fear hold you back: Get out of the box. How can you expand it? Step into it?
--Make sure you are feeding the areas of life that give you joy and fulfillment
--Approaching life as a life-long learner: we are not finished products - we learn, calibrate and adjust
--How can you find opportunity to make deposits and investments into others through their growth and development journeys?
