The Imperfectionist:
Dealing with a tricky issue in a playful and impactful way
Coming this Autumn is a 12 week Imperfectionist programme including:
๐ A full online course exploring what perfectionism is, how it might show up for you and a range of creative and effective exercises to harness the wonderful, freeing world of the Imperfectionist
๐ An accompanying kit in the post, evoking the certainty and playfulness of past times.
๐ Fortnightly online group coaching sessions, getting peer-to-peer support and key insights into how your perfectionist traits can be reduced to allow more space for exploration, creativity and joy
๐ A 1-2-1 session with Sarah towards the end of the programme, furthering the support to put the learning into action
This programme is playfully designed to increase your capacity to be an Imperfectionist, reducing the harmful effects of perfectionism, freeing you up to live a more joyful, productive and successful life.
Society has made us think this way and it is wrong. You are enough. We all are. Putting an end to this takes work. We might as well make it creative and fun whilst we do it!
I really look forward to working with you to banish those pesky perfectionism traits and help you don your cape as an Imperfection Superhero!

Why would being an Imperfectionist be a good thing?
Being imperfect gives you more time
It helps you be more creative, playful and be able to experiment more
It means you get things done by moving you away from inertia to action
Imperfection, when practiced regularly can reduce stress cortisol levels
It reduces "comparisonitis", giving you freedom to forge ahead with your plans
It brings a lot of joy
It means you're off the hook - you don't need to continually strive for more, you can still be ambitious but you can also be content with where you're at.

Working through issues around perfectionism is an intensely personal thing, which is why I made this course predominantly an individual journey.
However, I know some really like that sense of community and enjoy sharing, so the live workshop is an optional bonus, rather than an integral part.
Yes! I deliver the whole of The Imperfectionist, complete with kit in a full day face-to-face. If this is something you're interested in, get in touch and we can chat about it.
Yes.
All my courses are now. (They weren't always, but I've now sussed the system!)
As I've got a fairly average South East England accent, they are fairly accurate, however, it's not that keen on the word Imperfectionist, so a prize for the person who spots the most silly caption moment!
A bit about why I made this course
I was always a creative kid, but over the years I become increasingly frustrated and annoyed with myself.
Those feelings were coming from both self-oriented and socially-oriented forms of perfectionism.
The ideas in my head never turned out quite right in reality and I became more and more hard on myself.
Then suddenly something shifted. I started to care less and create more. At the time I gave it little thought, only recently have I traced my adult development as an Imperfectionist back to that time.
For years, I berated myself for not being perfectionist. It was so often held up as something to be impressed by - a badge of honour.
But I couldn't do it. Why? Because found it too limiting. It stopped me getting things done, increased inertia and, quite frankly, made me feel a bit rubbish.
I just assumed I wasn't "as good" as those who were constantly striving for perfection and just got on with stuff.
Now I can see my perspective was riddled with survivor bias (I was only focusing on extremely successful perfectionists), and actually, my way of working, creating and being as an Imperfectionist was actually a superpower.
I'm totally delighted I now get to share these powers with you!
