MANAGING PERFECTION AND PROCRASTINATION:
Strategies for Satisfaction and Success
A Stanford Continuing Studies Course
Two Saturdays, April 7 & April 14, 2012
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
More of us are held back by destructive thoughts and habits than by lack of ability or drive. The twin obstacles of perfectionism and procrastination account for a majority of the professional and personal dilemmas that clients bring to executive and life coaches. The two are related, for they stem from a false belief that it is disastrous to fail. Whether you push yourself relentlessly or habitually avoid doing what you know is needed, you can unlearn the mental habits and change the daily behaviors that keep you captive to false beliefs and inhuman expectations. This course will offer strategies drawn from research in positive and Buddhist psychologies, leadership, and neuroscience. Interactive exercises, writing, and discussion will allow participants to customize theoretical material and practical techniques to their own situations. We will discover how to dissolve these obstacles with humor, safety, and creative zest.
Register for course WSP 165, at www.continuingstudies.stanford.edu starting February 27, 2012. Or you can request a catalogue from Stanford Continuing Studies, 482 Galvez Street, Stanford, CA 94305 and fax in the registration form on the inside back cover. Classes fill fast!
