And, how striving for perfection can actually be a barrier to success. Our guest, Dr. Alice Penn, shares her story of how she overcame her own self-doubt and perfectionism and pivoted from medicine to finance and eventually starting her own business as a international success coach and speaker.
We talk about the importance of being aware of our strengths and abilities and ways to discover those. Dr. Alice shares exercises to help listeners recognize their potential and let go of self-limiting beliefs. We also discuss the benefits of taking risks and trying new things, even if they’re not perfect.
