The Sage Sayers: Fuss Less. Act More. Managing Our Perfectionism.

My inner circle knows that my dominant Saboteur — my leader of my inner critics, after the Judge — is the Stickler, who takes order, organization, and perfectionism way too far.

In this week's highly-flawed podcast (due partly to audio issues I self-created by recording at Lake Michigan) I'm offering five techniques I use to override fear and self-doubt.

I'm drawing upon skills I gathered as a business reporter, writing and reporting for global media like the Economist and the Guardian, and from three major career transitions I've navigated across two continents and three industries.  I've learned a lot about letting go of perfection along the way.
