Thomas’ talk was such a joy. Crystal clear structure, a touch of academia felt just right to comfort my never-ending 'How do you know?' questions, insightful interpretations, and perhaps above all, remarkable speaking skills - a smooth, steady flow unsupported by intrusive 'Aha!' moments or stroboscopic slides. Had a fabulous moment there, thanks!

Amazing speaker. The feedback from Thomas’ talk has been immediately and overwhelmingly positive and it seems to have really made an impact with so many people who watched. The attendance was brilliant, and the number of questions I was still getting through even right towards the end, showed such an engagement with the subject, not something we can always take for granted with everyone’s busy schedules!

Keynotes

Keynote by Thomas Curran:

The Perfectionism Paradox

In theory, perfectionists are committed to excellence, meticulous, hard-working, and take immense pride in their work. In reality, perfectionists are overworked, chronically burned out, self-sabotaging, and perpetually dissatisfied with their accomplishments. Not only do they suffer, their work suffers as well. Their workload overwhelms them because they struggle to delegate. Innovation is stifled because they’re too scared of failure to take risks and try new things.
Procrastination becomes a coping mechanism for the anxiety that comes when facing challenging tasks.

In this presentation, Thomas Curran outlines the many ways that perfectionism itself is the hurdle preventing us from doing our best work. With illuminating case studies and evidence-based strategies, he offers eye-opening insights into how letting go of the need for perfection can paradoxically unlock higher performance and greater fulfillment in our lives and careers.

Keynote by Thomas Curran:

Perfectionism: Truths and Myths

In this session, Thomas Curran explores the science of perfectionism. Although an often-glamorized trait, research shows that it can in fact lead to mental health difficulties, reduced accomplishment, and burnout. He explains how perfectionism is not about pursuing excellence but about compensating for feeling of not being enough, which result in worry, anxiety, and procrastination due to paralysing fears of failure. All of which hinder innovation and productivity as people recoil from making mistakes, and experience strained relationships from the fear of receiving critical feedback.

He will introduce the latest work on cultivating self-compassion and practicing gratitude, which can help people combat self-criticism, fostering a kinder outlook on work (and life) and enhancing overall well-being.

Imposterism

In this talk, Thomas Curran will show how impostersim (vis-a-vis imposter syndrome) manifests as a persistent feeling of inadequacy despite evidence of success, causing individuals to constantly doubt their achievements and abilities. He will explain perfectionism’s close relationship with imposterism and how the two conspire to undermine confidence and professional advancement.

Overcoming imposter syndrome involves acknowledging one's accomplishments, seeking support from others, and reframing negative self-perceptions to embrace personal achievements with confidence. Using scientifically validated strategies, he will outline how to put these changes into practice.
