Session: The Perfectionist's Edge: From Overdrive to Strategic Power
For years, perfectionism has been painted as a purely negative trait, especially for women in technical leadership–a relentless inner critic driving us towards burnout and anxiety. Some might even feel like it's something they need to "recover from." But what if that intense drive, that keen eye for detail, holds the key to our greatest achievements?In this dynamic keynote, high-achievers discover "The Perfectionist's Edge"–a transformative journey that shifts mindsets from relentless pursuit to strategic mastery. Learn how to harness inherent drive for quality by cultivating a powerful and impactful vision, supported by practical daily tools for laser-focused strategy and planning. Speaking from the heart, Kristen helps her attendees walk away with concrete techniques to move beyond the cycle of overthinking and embrace rejuvenating rest, fueling brain health and unlocking new levels of creativity.
