Perfectionism is a phenomenon that can easily get in the way of our progress, and can certainly impact our sense of achievement, satisfaction and overall wellbeing. For your perfectionist coachees, they are likely to see the drive to be perfect as a good thing that has rewarded them in the past. They probably thrived during their education and in their careers because they are high-achievers. They probably wear their perfectionism as a badge of honour. But all is not necessarily well in the world of perfectionists. In this episode we explore how Perfectionism might show up in the coaching room, how it might be de-railing some of our coachees and leading them to have a sense of low self-worth. Hopefully, after listening to our conversation, you might be able to recognise when perfectionism is emerging in the coaching room. You'll then be able to work with your coachees to help them overcome this need for everything to be perfect, find some self-compassion and to celebrate times when good enough is good enough.
