## Resource

Perfectionism usually gets framed as something to overcome, but what if there's another way to think about it? In this episode, I'm joined by several members of the Leading Lady ambassador community for an honest conversation about the different ways perfectionism shows up in our work, our relationships, and our leadership. .We discuss the different perfectionist archetypes, the difference between healthy and unhealthy perfectionism, and how traits like attention to detail, organization, high standards, and thoughtful execution can become genuine strengths. Topics covered in this episode include: Why perfectionism isn't always something that needs to be "fixed" The five perfectionist archetypes and which one might sound familiar The difference between adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism Show notes available at www.leadinglady-coaching.com/podcast Resources Mentioned: Take the Quiz to See What Kind of Perfectionist You Are: https://www.perfectionistsguide.com/quiz Have you joined the Leading Ladies Facebook Group yet?!
