Perfection holds a strange power. It’s an ideal that demands everything but gives nothing back. And while we know nothing and no one can truly be perfect, perfection still lingers as an unspoken expectation in our minds. It’s sneaky. It convinces us that “good” isn’t quite enough, that striving for anything less than perfection is settling.

But what if it’s the opposite? What if the real problem is perfection itself?

By reframing balance as consistent and perpetual reprioritisation against a meaningful code, we can channel our energy into what truly matters without guilt or undue tension.

We’ve all been in that room. A leader passionately outlines a vision, convinced everyone gets it. Heads nod, notes are taken, and yet, when it’s time to execute, the results miss the mark. What went wrong?

A month into 2025, are you that brand new, more fabulous version of yourself? 

Me neither.
