If we only see ourselves as valuable when our work is perfect, we will avoid change and challenge.
Perfectionists can put up huge resistance to anything they don’t know they will deliver perfectly.

What if I can’t do it?
What if this reveals me as an imposter?
What if I lose my value in the eyes of others?
