The Curse of Perfectionism: From Perfection to Progress

Many high-achieving professionals pride themselves on setting high standards, delivering quality work, and striving for excellence. But when the pursuit of perfection becomes a barrier to action, confidence, visibility, and growth, it can quietly hold us back from reaching our full potential.

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation with Sheema Khan, Registered Psychotherapist and Founder of Supporting Your Journey, as she explores the hidden costs of perfectionism and how shifting our focus from perfection to progress can unlock greater impact, confidence, and career advancement.

Drawing on her unique combination of clinical expertise and more than 20 years of corporate leadership experience in sales, marketing, e-commerce, and strategy, Sheema will share practical insights to help participants recognize perfectionist tendencies, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop strategies to move forward with greater confidence and intention.

In this session, we will explore:

Personal experiences with perfectionism and its impact on growth, confidence, and decision-making

How perfectionism can limit visibility, risk-taking, and career advancement

Strategies for shifting from a mindset of "perfect" to one focused on "progress" and "impact"

Practical ways to prioritize, let go of unnecessary pressure, and move forward with confidence

How leaders can model progress over perfection to create healthier, more empowering team cultures

Whether you're navigating career growth, leadership opportunities, or simply looking to break free from self-imposed expectations, this session will provide valuable tools and perspectives to help you take meaningful action and embrace progress over perfection.
