Great Quotes for Coaches Podcast

Today we continue with the series of quotes on "Perfectionism" that I started a few weeks ago. Today's quote comes from the former COO of Facebook/Meta, Sheryl Sandberg.
It is a quote that you have probably heard before. Heck, I think I mentioned it in the first episode of this series on Perfectionism. However, I thought it was one of those quotes that are by an unknown, anonymous source. But when I Googled the quote, Sheryl Sandberg popped up as the person this quote is most often attributed to.
It may have come from her bestselling book, "Lean In: Women, Work, & the Will to Lead," but I'm not certain of that. (Although I will be finding out because that book is in my stack of books I want to read over the course of the next year)
No matter where she first said it or wrote it, it is an outstanding quote on how perfectionism can paralyze us into doing nothing. You'll understand what I mean by that in the episode. You'll also understand why it was the "perfect" (pun intended!) quote to do for today's episode, in particular.

Today we continue with the series of quotes on "Perfectionism" that I started a few weeks ago. Today's quotes form the final episode of three episode that make up a "Mini-Series" within the series.

It has vaulted onto my list of Top 5 or Top 10 books that everyone should read, especially anyone who is a leader or a parent.
The quotes you hear today wrap up the mini-series by talking about some of the other problematic areas of perfectionism, but also offering a couple of ideas on how to deal with perfectionism in ways that can help us be better.
I hope you enjoyed this little series within the series. I know I enjoyed the concepts that Dr. Brown taught us about perfectionism.

Today we continue with the new series of quotes on "Perfectionism" that I started a couple of weeks ago. This is a great topic for coaches because we all deal with "perfectionist athletes" at points in our careers, and for most of us we deal with them every season. The quotes that I will be discussing will get at the heart of perfectionism, why it can be crippling to performance, and what we can/should do about it to keep it from destroying our ability to grow and develop the best that we can.
Today's quotes form the beginning of a mini-series within the series. That's because for the next few weeks I will discuss quotes by Dr. Brene Brown from her book, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead. I HIGHLY recommend you get this book! It is so good and has so many powerful impactful ideas and lessons for all of us, especially those of us in any type of leadership position.
The quotes you hear today kick off a short section in the book on perfectionism and why perfectionism is so crippling to us in our efforts to become the best versions of ourselves that we can be.

Today we start a new series of quotes on "Perfectionism." While I'm sure I have touched on the concept of perfectionism at times in different episodes of the podcast, I don't recall ever devoting any specific episodes to the idea of perfectionism, so I thought it would be a good topic to discuss.
This is also a great topic for coaches because we all deal with "perfectionist athletes" at points in our careers, and for most of us we deal with them every season. The quotes that I will be discussing will get at the heart of perfectionism, why it can be crippling to performance, and what we can/should do about it to keep it from destroying our ability to grow and develop the best that we can.
This first quote is a fairly famous one that is most often attributed to Voltaire, but it has been tweaked and changed at times through the years. It is one that you have probably heard before, and it is a good one to kick off the series.
