Excellence vs. Perfectionism with Sarah Noble, Part 2

Sarah Noble joins us today for Part 2 on Perfectionism and how to shift it toward excellence through authenticity. Sarah is a self-proclaimed recovering perfectionist who has immense wisdom to share with us about her journey. In today’s podcast, Sarah talks about how leaders can strive for excellence without demanding perfection. As a leader, your role is to cast a vision. You can be clear and lead toward excellence without falling into the perfection trap. Setting specifics while also allowing the team to use their Strengths to reach the goals will build an environment of trust and growth.  Looking to reframe your perfection habits? Sarah recommends that you start slow and as you find small successes, you’ll be able to build upon them and become a more authentic person who can find joy on the other side of perfectionism.  What are you waiting for? Now is the “perfect” time to begin this journey.  At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe that everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys. CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts.
