<p><b>Secrets for Success: Unpacking Perfectionism & Cultivating Your Superpower Mindset</b></p>
<p>Many lawyers would be shocked to learn that the perfectionism they wear as a badge of honor actually PREVENTS them from reaching their highest potential. But there’s a key difference between perfectionism and the pursuit of excellence, and it turns out that the former can indeed be the enemy of the latter. In this interactive workshop, participants will:</p>
<ul>
<li style="margin-top:12.0pt; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt">Increase their awareness of the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that underlie their perfectionistic tendencies</li>
<li>Examine the costs that perfectionism takes on their personal and professional lives, and “unbundle” the positive aspects of their perfectionism from those that are harmful</li>
<li>Learn why optimalism and self-compassion are far more likely to produce desired outcomes</li>
<li style="margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt">Take steps to cultivate kinder self-talk, a growth mindset, and a more optimalist approach, and turbocharge their motivation, engagement, and well-being in the process</li>
</ul>
<p>Students interested in participating in one or both of the deep-dive workshops are highly encouraged to attend the keynote. Each program will be followed by an optional virtual group coaching and discussion session designed to provide additional support for participants as they begin to apply new skills and concepts.</p>
<p>The deep-dive workshops are limited to 20 participants in each morning or afternoon session. If there is excess demand, we will keep a waitlist and inform you should space open up.</p>
<p>These workshops are open to YLS students only.</p>
