303 | Getting past the fear of doing your job “wrong” Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

If you’re someone who cares deeply about doing your job right, today’s episode is for you. Sometimes in our quest to do our job “correctly,” we unintentionally spend a lot of time overthinking every little decision. This can slow down our execution and make it difficult for us to lead effectively. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful reframe that’ll help you stop trying to do things the “correct” way, and start focusing instead on being a LEADER (which is much less about doing it “right” and much more about just having the courage to DO it, period!)

My hope is that this episode will inspire to leave behind perfectionism and replace it with unapologetic confidence in your leadership, execution, & decision-making.
