Achieving Fulfillment: How Self-Reflection Can Lead to Inner Peace with Matt Drinkhahn

Self-reflection is hard, especially for leaders.  You’re too busy trying to educate and motivate your team.  You’re also trying to make sure things run smoothly and oftentimes, you want to be in control of everything because you want it all to be perfect.  

If the above sounds like you, Matt Drinkhahn would love a chance to meet with you.  He’s a self-proclaimed “eternal optimist” on a quest to help leaders figure out why they aim for perfection and understand how harmful striving for it can really be. 

Matt’s story began at Cutco, where he got a taste for the satisfaction that comes with helping in the professional development of his team.  Years later, after a few tries in the corporate world, he decided to launch a coaching business for leaders who needed to look inward and reflect on why they did certain things.  Matt’s philosophy is simple:  perfectionism is the enemy of progress, especially if you’re a leader

Think about it, if you are a perfectionist you likely need to control things.  If you are leading a team, how will you ever empower them to try new things or share ideas if you’re managing the whole process?  The truth is, perfectionism will stifle creativity and boldness, the very traits you should encourage for every member of your team. 

Matt’s coaching method is extraordinary in that it helps teach people to get to the root cause of their traits and do the inner work to understand them fully.  If you’re a perfectionist (or think you might be one) our chat with Matt will provide you with tools to overcome it to be an effective, more successful leader.
