Manage episode 343260501 series 3402604
In this episode Arthi is in conversation with guest Debbie Tam, who shares her insights into the dark side of perfectionism, the costs and impact it can have on one's life. More importantly though, through some deep introspections comes the realisation that things need to change, and Debbie highlights some of the key things she undertook to overcome the need for perfectionism, as well as lessons learned.
Debbie is a business owner who offers business performance consulting as well as coaching to leadership teams and individuals using both neuroscience and emotional intelligence methodologies.
