Send me a voice message and get featured on the show via anchor: https://anchor.fm/pickingatperfection/message Welcome back fellow imperfectionist! Today I had the pleasure of chatting with Anna Cuxart from It’s your project. Anna’s aim through it yours project is to inspire unmotivated young people to become their highest self using various custom notion templates. Firstly I was absolutely blown away by Anna’s recommendation for how to find and clarify your purpose, she talks us through this wonderful exercise about halfway through the episode so definitely listen out for that. Anna has such a balanced approach to life, she talks about being inspired by happy, positive emotions but also how her darker emotions such as jealousy inspire her to be better and improve herself. She has this wonderful concept of “higher self” which is a really lovely way to refer to your best future self and we hear about how she applies this to every day life. The bulk of what we discuss is mainly around how to just get things started, taking small steps and how fear of failure can often sabotage us.

Send me a voice message and get featured on the show via anchor: https://anchor.fm/pickingatperfection/message Welcome back fellow imperfectionists to another episode of picking at perfection. Today we have the absolute pleasure of hearing from Tom Solid, founder of the legendary paperless movement. This was such a dream come true kind of moment for me, I am such a huge fan of Tom and he is a huge source of inspiration. But what do we discuss? In this episode you will hear about many productivity tools of course but we talk about so much more. Buzz words, toxic productivity, and all around efficiency. As well as concepts of being a generalist and having a sandbox in life with which to try new things without it distracting you from the main task in hand or distracting from your purpose. And some really beautiful life insights mixed in too including references to his wife and family, and listen to the very end to hear about how he came up with his alias. One of the things I found most interesting is the fact that Tom didn't really choose either of his career paths, more on that in the episode.  Find Tom at: http://paperlessmovement.com Twitter: @paperlessmove Instagram: @paperlessmove To follow me: https://Pickingatperfection.com Instagram: @pickingatperfection

Send me a voice message and get featured on the show via anchor: https://anchor.fm/pickingatperfection/message In today's episode I am joined by Charlotte Crabtree, Career success coach. I have learned so much from Charlie both in this episode and in the past. I used to report to her in the first company I worked for - it was crazy to catch up and see how far we have both come since. Charlie has excellent insight into social pressures, expectations within your career and speaking up in meetings with purpose. Both as event planners it was interesting to comment on the differences of meeting online and in person. We both acknowledge that to some degree we don't ever get full instructions with a job role or position and have to wing it to some degree. My favourite part was the discussion about speaking up in meetings and inspiring others - I so hope you enjoy it too!

Send me a voice message and get featured on the show via anchor: https://anchor.fm/pickingatperfection/message Today I am joined by Helen Pettifer, founder of her own company that supports and trains companies in relation to vulnerability. I had such a nice conversation with Helen and she really, for me, shed light on this somewhat unknown area and I definitely picked up some great tips on how to support people around me more. There are a couple of really emotional moments, Helen is so genuine and I am really flattered that she chose to share some of her personal experiences. At times what we discuss gets a little dark but these are important conversations that Helen has everyday, just an example of the strong individual she is. but i think the overall take away is that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am particularly pleased with myself for cramming all of my recently learned psychological theories and references in this episode!

Send me a voice message and get featured on the show via anchor: https://anchor.fm/pickingatperfection/message Hello and welcome back fellow imperfectionists. On this episode I am joined by the passionate and knowledgeable Scott Jukes. Scott is director of his own company, Studio Jukes who provide digital design, marketing and video solutions. This episode was taken as a part of a wider discussion me and Scott were having, honestly i think every conversation me and Scott have could be an episode, he is a good friend of mine and just one of these really insightful and knowledgable people. But to that effect it deviates slightly from the usual format. My particular favourite is Scotts take on the very much digital era we are rapidly being forced into with less and less face to face contact allowed due to the pandemic. He knows so much about what really goes on behind some of our favourite online platforms. As a follow up, i did watch the social dilemma, the documentary that Scott references, it is well worth a watch if this kind of topic interests you it has really shown to me that actually a lot of us live in our own reality online, we tell social media what we like, don’t like along with other opinions and it generates content for us based on this, so we are unlikely to see anything that contradicts our values. No ones newsfeed is exactly as the same as someone else’s and this is definitely something i am keeping at the forefront of my mind moving forward. Additionally there has of course been further twitter drama with the politician we talk about as this was recorded a little while ago. In my free time at the moment i am studying loads about coding, psychology and social media and i feel this episode just ties so many elements of these nicely together! Anyway without further a do i Hope you enjoy and I would love to hear your opinions of the topics raised, get in touch via my instagram.

Welcome back listeners! Thank you for joining me for this my first virtually recorded episode! And a very exciting one it is! I talk to Ross Hockman, the founder of UK Astronomy, a volunteer organisation making the understanding of space and our galaxy accessible to everyone. Ross and his wife Francesca have so much passion and dedication between them, it is truly admirable. We talk about the challenges they face, the day by day approach they take, the grounding benefits of stargazing and Ross’ devotion to teaching the future generation. P.S. Ross gives the BEST definition of perfection at the end! Enjoy!

Hello and welcome back to this very special episode where I welcome Rob, my partner of 6 years to the show! I really wanted to showcase a bit more of my personality and I hope you enjoy listening along to our chat about the impact of role models on our lives, sexuality and relationship as well as our opinions on current representation. This includes Rob proving me wrong on a few occasions - I will happily admit. We also talk in great depth about aligning expectations between colleagues, managers and customers.
