Hi Listener,
If you've been in earshot of me randomly bending a stranger's ear or at one of my workshops or trainings, you've probably heard the story I'm about to tell you. I share so maybe a little light is shed on the poison of perfectionism as it relates to doing three of the most important parts of the creativity:
1. enjoying the process
2. enjoying what you've done.
3. sharing it with the world
I'm holding a free call on Tuesday August 8, 11 am pacific/2 eastern called Is Perfectionism Ruining My Creative Mojo ? It will give you agives you an idea of some of the principles I teach in Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching and my workshops, and may lend a little freedom to the evil step-sister of creativity: perfectionism as well as how you can use compassion to move yourself out of both perfectionism and procrastination.
