Societal and patriarchal expectations, and even self-induced pressure, for women are sky-high. In every setting, we face scrutiny. Are we setting our kids up for success? Being a team player at work? Taking care of the household? Being a good wife? Staying energized? Maintaining our figure? The pressure to be perfect is real and many of us feel an immense amount of pressure to be perfect in everything we do, but perfect is subjective and means different things to different people. Perfection comes from many places -society, family, friends and even ourselves. It’s exhausting, far less impactful than we may think and is also makes it challenging to be truly happy when we are constantly striving for perfection. So, how do we navigate the path of perfection in the pursuit of happiness to ignite more purposeful living?

Dr. Amelia Reigstad, PhD, seeks to change the narrative for women in the workplace, social situations, and the home through her latest book Hello Ms. Perfect. With wry humor, she celebrates living authentically and shedding the pressure of perfectionism through her keynote and perfectionism workshops. Participants will be guided on a journey to quiet our internal voice and put perfectionism on the back burner. Learn what perfectionism is and where it comes from, what the difference is between excellence and perfectionism, how perfectionism can lead to paralysis analysis, why the fear of risk-taking plays such a critical role in our happiness and strategies for overcoming perfectionism to live a more happy, purposeful, and fulfilling life.

Hello Ms. Perfect leverages her expertise to say goodbye to the burden that society, patriarchy, and even ourselves place on womanhood.
