91. Unlocking your potential: Conquering perfectionism and imposter phenomenon

  • Riassunto

  • In part 1 of my conversation with Monica Basco, Ph.D., Exploring the intersection of perfectionism, procrastination, and performance, we discussed the following topics:


    • Perfectionism and high-achieving behaviors
    • Understanding the impact of high goals
    • The role of confidence in goal setting
    • The intersection of perfectionism and procrastination


    In this second part of our conversation, Monica kindly shared her transition from academia to the White House as an introduction to the focus of this episode: the intersection of perfectionism and imposter phenomenon.


    Perfectionists set exceptionally high standards for themselves, displaying a relentless drive to achieve what they perceive as flawless outcomes. However, when these standards are not met, it can lead to feelings of failure and inadequacy. Even when they succeed, perfectionists may fear that others will see through their façade, further perpetuating the imposter phenomenon.


    A highlight of our conversation is the importance of discerning when perfectionistic actions are an asset and when they become a liability.
