The Imperfectionist:
12 weeks across the Autumn
This programme deals with the serious problem of perfectionism in a playful and impactful way.
If you're a creatively minded person who feels stuck, has a collection of unfinished projects because perfectionism keeps you frozen, or you are struggling to take the next step in your career or life because you fear judgement or your inner critic is shouting too loudly, this course is for you.
By the end of the course, you'll make decisions more quickly, take action more confidently and finish those really important projects with less stress.
The Programme:
Starting in September, this is a 12-week practical programme designed to increase your capacity to be an Imperfectionist, reducing the harmful effects of perfectionism and freeing you up to live a more joyful, productive and successful life.
We have been made to think perfectionism is something to aspire to and that the harder we work to get everything right, the more successful we will be, but I think we've got it wrong.
You are enough. We all are.
Putting an end to those unhelpful perfectionist patterns takes work so we might as well make it creative and fun whilst we do it!
Over 12 weeks:
🔎 You will get lifetime access to 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.
🔎 You will receive, in the post, an accompanying carefully curated kit. This small parcel, wrapped in brown paper, contains a range of playful, creative tools with a vintage feel, that you can use to tackle the symptoms of perfectionism, raise awareness and help you hold things more lightly.
🔎 We will come together for fortnightly online group coaching sessions, offering peer support and key insights to help reduce perfectionist traits and create more space for exploration, creativity and joy.
PLUS personalised mentoring:
🔎 Work with me in a 1-2-1 session towards the end of the programme. This will help you put everything you've learned, into action. This is a bespoke session focused entirely on you. You choose what we explore and together we will create a list of actions for you to put in place.
I really look forward to working with you to banish those pesky perfectionism traits and help you don your cape as an Imperfection Superhero!

"The course takes a really innovative and creative approach to identifying and gently changing perfectionist habits. The materials are fun and informal and the videos are short and sweet with a little bit of theory. The online group session was very different to the videos and gave a chance to ask questions and hear others' experiences. A good mixture to suit all learning styles."

Why would being an Imperfectionist be a good thing?
Being imperfect gives you more time.
Helps you be more creative, playful and willing to experiment.
Gets you moving from inertia to action so you actually get things done.
Can reduce stress and cortisol levels when practised regularly.
Reduces "comparisonitis", giving you the freedom to forge ahead with your own plans.
Brings more joy into your work and life.
Lets you 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.
"This is a great course if you want to be a bit more curious about your own perfectionism. Sarah has put together a wonderful playful package, fusing 'physical' and 'digital' in a really special way. It will challenge you, make you think, introduce you to new games and strategies and help you deal with your perfectionist ways and establish new ways of being. I can't recommend it enough!"

Why Sarah is the right coach for you?
Letting go of perfectionism doesn't mean you will automatically get sloppy, lazy and produce poor work.
Quite the opposite. I have been a proud Imperfectionist for most of my adult life and, at the same time, I am ambitious, driven, organised and I love producing my best work.
I've worked with 100s of creative people, many of whom are neurodiverse, to support them to be bold, take action and know when things are good enough.
Life is too short to waste time worrying about what other people might be thinking of you (most of the time they're not thinking about you at all, they've got their own stuff to deal with). It's also too short stopping yourself from starting that creative project that has been bouncing around your head for ages.
I'm here to help you clear the white noise, renegotiate the job descriptions of your inner critics (as they are useful in rare circumstances) and stride forth with confidence, creativity and playfulness.

"I loved the fact that I was sent a physical package through the post. It was so carefully put together. It felt like a birthday (but a gift I had bought for myself!) and it was like being a kid again. Having something to physically 'play' with and take me out of my comfort zone but in the privacy of my own space at a time that suited me, was great!"
