This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this short talk, Caroline McGraw shares an idea about overcoming perfectionism. “We are stronger than we know, and our mistakes actually help us to see that because they reveal our true selves, the ones that endure when our false selves die.”
Caroline McGraw is a would-be childhood paleontologist turned writer, digging for treasure in people and uncovering sacred stories in ordinary days. She's the creator of AWishComeClear.com, a site devoted to helping recovering perfectionists choose love, lose fear, and find home.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
