Description
No one can be a perfectionist because no one is perfect. And perfectionism is an occupational hazard of the gifted. Although giftedness and perfectionism often go hand-in-hand, perfectionism can have many “faces” and may look different in each individual. In this engaging and practical course, Lisa Van Gemert, M.Ed.T., explains how damaging perfectionism can be and how its strengths can be harnessed for good.
In this 1-hour course you will learn to:
- Identify the five faces of perfectionism in gifted children
- Build strategies to change perfectionism from unhealthy to healthy
- Classify global failure from beneficial adversity
- Utilize Barbara Clark’s model for overcoming failure

Great!

The course information was applicable, relevant and on-point, however, the chucks of the handout of the slides that I printed did not match the video and I had to spend a lot of time writing rather than reflecting on what I was learning. In addition, the video kept pausing as slides changed. When I hit “play” it would advance the slides before the presenter had spoken about them.

I thought the content was interesting and useful. I was frustrated with the video quality. It would pause at the change of every slide. It didn’t progress like all the other videos.

Excellent course! I loved how engaging and informative it was! The instructor made some points that not only pulled on my heart strings, but encouraged me to do my best to help my students that may struggle with any form of perfectionism. If you’re a perfectionist (like me) this course may even give you insight into strategies to help yourself as well! All around very impressed.

It was a great course, but the presentation kept stopping throughout. I would have to push play over and over to make the presentation continue, which made the words choppy.

This was a good course, but it was much longer than I had anticipated.

Erin – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –
This course was very informative! It has a lot of useful information and really helped deepen my insight.
miriam – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
It gave me a good background knowledge of the term perfection. I will be using what the presenter said. Not to say that the student is a perfectionist but to say that he/she has perfectionist tendencies. Perfection is non attainable.
