Course Overview
Ah, the perfectionist. We all know one in our life. Or…maybe you are one. But, isn’t working hard and having high standards helpful, especially at work?

You still want to do your best, but the fear of getting it wrong shouldn’t hold you back from moving forward. The details matter but the big picture is important too – so let’s learn how to move forward from places where being perfect might have you stuck.
