Perfectionism at Work Is Fear of Failure in Disguise

from Healing at Work: Clock In, Heal Up · host Stacey Chillemi

Perfectionism at work gets rewarded, promoted, and mistaken for high standards. The overworking, the people pleasing, the sense that nothing is ever quite good enough- none of it starts with the job. It starts with a nervous system that learned pressure feels safer than calm, and the pattern holds no matter how senior the title gets.Susan Winchester, a former Fortune 500 Chief Human Resources Officer and co-author of Healing at Work, names the four survival responses running underneath it. Leave knowing which one is yours.📄 Free Guide: The ASDP's Guide to Overcoming Overwhelm, Susan's special report on the neuroscience of overwhelm and her Rapid Power Reclaim process, https://programs.healingatwork.com/overcoming-overwhelm──────────────────────────────────────────CONNECT WITH SUSAN WINCHESTER🌐 Website: https://www.susanwinchester.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanjschmittwinchester💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanschmittwinchester/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/falcorspirit📚 Book: Healing at Work, https://www.susanwinchester.com📄 Free Guide: The ASDP's Guide to Overcoming Overwhelm, https://programs.healingatwork.com/overcoming-overwhelm📊 Free Assessment: https://susanwinchester.com/assessment/📅 Work with Susan: https://calendly.com/susanwinchester/30-min───────────────────────────────────────────
