Not a lot of people will admit this, but I’m glad - if not reluctant - to share that I am a recovering perfectionist.
Surprising as it may seem, the legal profession is built around technicalities and even the most minor slip-up can set you, or worse, a client, back. Whether that’s reputation, money, or a combination of both.
So screwing up feels not just like professional failure, it’s personal.
Thankfully, my guest today is an expert on breaking the connection between familiarity and freedom.
Dr. Amanda Crowell is cognitive psychologist, coach, and author of the Aligned Time Journal.
She has been a TedX Speaker, a (in her words) reluctant runner, and a guiding light to what she has termed, “Accidental Entrepreneurs.”
Amanda and I discuss what it’s like to suddenly find yourself at the helm, what it means to associate ourselves with our ideas (and stereotypes), and why it’s important to “love loosely.”
Enjoy the show.
