<p><b>Secrets for Success: Unpacking Perfectionism &amp; 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&rsquo;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>

<li>Examine the costs that perfectionism takes on their personal and professional lives, and &ldquo;unbundle&rdquo; 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>
