EP 51- Is Perfectionism holding you back as a Public Speaker in English? The 3 ways to overcome it!

Do you consider yourself a Perfectionist? What if I told you there is no such a thing as 'a Perfectionist', because 'Perfectionism' is not something we are, it's something we learn. A set of behaviors and a coping mechanism to avoid shame, guilt, being judged by others or feeling inadequate. In my own journey as a Public Speaker in English as my Second Language I've been struggling with Perfectionism too. And it's such a relief when you start to understand better what Perfectionism really is and how to navigate it, as well as realizing you are not alone on this! There are many other Spanish Native Speaking Professionals who are feeling exactly the same way as you do! The truth is that, if I waited until my Pronunciation was Perfectly American My Vocabulary Perfectly Advanced, full of fancy Idioms and Metaphors... I would have never even started this very Podcast or my Youtube Channel in English as my Second Language! Not in a million years! In today's episode I'm coming with the 3 antidotes that have helped me the most to overcome Perfectionism and take action towards my dreams, specially the freedom of not caring about what other people think! I'm also recommending you my 2 favorite books on Overcoming Perfectionism and how it relates to this skill of Global Communication. If you use to feel nervous and think that your 'English is not Perfect enough' to start this journey of International Communication and go for this dream of having an International Career... This is the Podcast I would have loved to listen to as a Recovery Perfectionist myself. I hope you give yourself permission to embrace your fully creative self expression and find your most Authentic American English Voice!! If you find it useful, please review it! I'd love to learn about your own experience with Perfectionism (you can write me in IG @tuvozamericana or Linkedin- Ana Pose) and if you like my antidotes share it with your friends who also struggle with it.
