From Perfectionism to Progress: My First Newsletter!
Most of y’all know I’ve been a professional communicator for more than 20 years, so you might not believe how long I agonized over this – my first newsletter. After hearing me spiral, my coach asked: “What’s the worst that could happen if you just started writing?”
That simple yet powerful question helped me break free from the perfectionism that fueled my procrastination. That’s the power of coaching – having a trusted champion in your corner to spark clarity, prompt action and support your growth.
That's the kind of breakthrough that brought me here. As a certified executive coach, I help high-achievers lead with intention and advance their careers, and I'm grateful for your support as I write this purpose-driven chapter of my life.
Wherever you are on your journey, I hope this newsletter offers insights and inspiration to support your growth. Schedule a strategy call to let me know how I can help you, or send me a note to say what resonates and what you'd love to see next!
On a recent episode of the Wake Women podcast with Mary Tribble, I shared my experiences overcoming the grip of perfectionism, silencing self-doubt and managing burnout.
You won't want to miss the truly embarrassing story I told for the first time that was a wake-up call and put these issues into perspective for me.
