Overview

This new workshop from The AFC team explores what perfectionism is, where it tends to show up in people’s lives (such as procrastination, giving up easily, stress, and low self-worth), and why it persists.

For those working in the performing arts and entertainment, where high standards and constant pressure can feel overwhelming, understanding and managing perfectionism can be especially powerful. We will take a deep dive into perfectionistic behaviours, re-evaluate the importance of achievement, and introduce practical tools and strategies to reduce perfectionist thinking. Participants will also learn how to challenge unhelpful habits and build self-compassion as they work toward change.

Who Should Attend

This workshop will be beneficial for any entertainment industry professionals who may feel weighed down by perfectionism and want more supportive, balanced ways to grow in their work and life.

Key Takeaways

Understanding the paradox of perfection - how striving for it often leaves us feeling unfulfilled and discouraged;
Recognizing the impact of perfectionism on both physical and mental health;
Learning practical tools and strategies to challenge perfectionist thinking and build healthier habits.
