What are you struggling with?
Do you struggle with people-pleasing and perfectionism to the point of unhappiness and anxiety? Are you tired of always putting yourself last?
Many women struggle with people-pleasing and perfectionism. They tie their self-worth and value to external validation and what others think of them. They focus their thoughts and actions on creating a positive impression in others’ eyes and try everything to avoid negative fallout at all costs. As a result, this exhausting, high-pressure performance causes them to suffer from constant anxiety, stress, and an often debilitating fear of rejection.
Imagine a future where…
You find your authentic self by shedding the fixed beliefs and fears holding you back at work. You will stop caring so much about what other people think and more about what YOU think about yourself. Imagine speaking up and advocating for your ideas at work freer of concerns of what others may think. Imagine taking risks with healthier tolerance for failure. Imagine saying no and setting appropriate boundaries that take your needs into account. You will make decisions that put your career goals first, rather than last; decisions that align to your true career purpose. You will be your own best advocate, growing more self-confidence and self-compassion.
Why are you stuck?
So, why are you struggling with people-pleasing and perfectionism? Why aren’t these serving you successfully like they once did? Why are they now negatively affecting your career and happiness?
Perhaps these reasons resonate with you:
You don’t know who you are or what you want in your career because you have never put your needs first; you’ve always focused on pleasing others first and foremost.
You run yourself ragged trying to please others and be perfect yet you still experience rejection; you are devastated when it happens despite your best efforts to avoid it.
You are mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted trying to people-please and be perfect. Your gas tank is nearing empty and you have no way to refuel without the risk of disappointing others.
You are so worried about rejection that you don’t take risks or try new things that you know will help you grow your career in the way you want.
People call you “nice” but don’t feel you have leadership qualities to take on growth opportunities at work.
You are in a deeply unsatisfying career for reasons tied to external validation rather than true inner fulfillment of your WHY.
What do you need to do next?
So what do you need to do? You need to stop everything and take a step back. Take a good, hard look at what your inner critic is telling you and how much weight you put on that voice to dictate your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Identify the fixed beliefs and mindset that are motivating all of your actions. You will start to identify your authentic self and align to your WHY for your career.
