The Perfectionist's Trap: When Doing More Isn't Enough – The Suited Monk Way
Details
WEEKLY ONLINE MEETUP:
Why tread your mental, emotional and internal journey alone? Come and let´s share and explore the depth of our soul´s journey back home together.
In each session, we use the Suited Monk Philosophy and framework to guide us on our journey. In this week´s Meetup, we explore:
The Perfectionist's Trap: When Doing More Isn't Enough – The Suited Monk Way
1. Where does your perfectionism actually live? Think about the area of your life where perfectionism shows up most. Is it at work, in relationships, as a parent? And honestly: is that drive coming from a genuine standard you believe in, or from a fear of what people will think if you fall short?
-
What does "never enough" cost you? Perfectionism often disguises itself as ambition. But what has the relentless pursuit of more actually taken from you? Time, presence, health, relationships? What's the real price tag?
-
Whose voice is setting the standard? When you push yourself to do more, whose benchmark are you chasing? Is it yours, or did you inherit it from a parent, a boss, a culture? How much of your standard is authentically Monk-driven, and how much is Gap-driven noise?
Gain new awareness about any changes you want to make in your life and career

Who is The Suited Monk for?
The Suited Monk is a practical philosophy that serves as a compass on your life journey. The Suited Monk is for people who live in the real world, the business world, but are looking for more meaning and fulfilment on their life and career journey. It is for those who seek clarity and answers on life´s biggest questions. The Suited Monk is a community built on human values like contribution, sharing and friendship, rather than traditional religious practices. If you want to be part of a supportive community that promotes positive social values, join us and explore what our community has to offer.
The solution we will look at:
In your career as a leader or manager or entrepreneur a lot of focus is built on our Suit, the money we make, our success, our status and social image and so on. But this often goes at the expense of our inner Monk, our happiness, our values and our purpose. The goal in life and The Suited Monk is to blend both worlds together into one.
Basic structure of this meeting:
The meeting will be facilitated by the author and creator of the philosophy Raf Adams himself, and will involve a brief introduction for this weeks discussion. Then we will a group discussion related to the topic and discuss new insights that we can take home to keep growing our internal self. The meeting will finish with closing remarks.
Venue:
Join us as we put the theme to the test in a lively online group discussion. Meeting link in description.
