Perfectionism 3 - Brene Brown - The Hazardous Detour

Today we continue with the new series of quotes on "Perfectionism" that I started a couple of weeks ago. This is a great topic for coaches because we all deal with "perfectionist athletes" at points in our careers, and for most of us we deal with them every season. The quotes that I will be discussing will get at the heart of perfectionism, why it can be crippling to performance, and what we can/should do about it to keep it from destroying our ability to grow and develop the best that we can.

Today's quotes form the beginning of a mini-series within the series. That's because for the next few weeks I will discuss quotes by Dr. Brene Brown from her book, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead. I HIGHLY recommend you get this book! It is so good and has so many powerful impactful ideas and lessons for all of us, especially those of us in any type of leadership position.

The quotes you hear today kick off a short section in the book on perfectionism and why perfectionism is so crippling to us in our efforts to become the best versions of ourselves that we can be.
