Last week, I traveled to London to speak with a group of newly promoted law firm partners about perfectionism. 🎤🇬🇧
And as I was preparing for the session, I kept coming back to one question:
What happens when your perfectionism starts shaping the experience of everyone around you?
Because when you're the one being affected by your perfectionism, the costs are obvious.
The late nights. The overthinking. The stress. The exhaustion.
But leadership changes the equation.
Now your perfectionism influences how you delegate. How you respond to mistakes. How the next generation of lawyers learns what success is supposed to look like.
We tend to think of perfectionism as a private struggle with a personal cost.
But for leaders, it rarely stays personal.
The standards you hold become the standards your team learns to work under.
Which is why the goal isn't lower standards. It's greater awareness of the impact those standards have on the people around you.
Grateful for the opportunity to help leaders think not just about the work they're producing, but the culture they're creating. 💫

Four years ago, I walked away from a career most people would kill for. Why?
Not because I'd failed. Because I'd succeeded my way into complete misalignment.
I had the title, the salary, the rooms I'd worked my whole life to get into. But I was quietly unraveling underneath every single one of them.
What I’ve learned is this:
→ Thriving on paper and thriving in real life are two very different things.
And you're allowed to want both.
The Institute of Exceptional Alignment is where you learn how.
The thing I needed back then, finally built for the women who need it now.

“There’s no way I can do this right now.”
☝🏾 Me, an hour out from delivering a major workshop for a new law firm client.
If you know my type (ambitious, overachieving, type A perfectionist), then you know I prep for these things weeks, if not months, in advance.
I got hit with some really tough personal news less than 60 minutes before go-time.
It completely threw me off. And there was no time to process it.
But I did what high-performing women like us do:
I took a deep breath, pulled it together, turned the camera on, and stepped into it anyway.
I showed up and gave it everything I had.
And if I’m being honest?
When it ended, my inner critic was loud. Convinced I'd fallen short and disappointed everyone in the room. 🫠
Then the next morning, I opened my email and saw this…
→ “This was probably the best professional development I’ve *ever* attended.”
→ “I knew Domonique was going to be terrific, but this was phenomenal beyond any expectation.”
→ “One of the best presenters I’ve seen in my four years at the firm!”
🥹
The feedback I received was worlds away from the experience I had in my own head.
And it reminded me of something I heard recently:
👉🏾 As a high-achieving woman, your baseline is often 120%. Which means your 80% is other people’s 100%.
But we hold ourselves to a standard so high that we lose perspective on what’s actually good enough.
Anything less than perfect feels like we’re falling short.
Even when we’re exceeding every expectation in the room.
So if you’ve gotten used to holding yourself to an almost impossible standard—and beating yourself up anytime you can’t meet it—here’s your reminder:
Your “not good enough” is probably pretty exceptional.
Your “not my A-game” is still outperforming most.
Your “bare minimum” is still moving the needle.
And in case no one’s told you lately…
You’re doing so much better than you think. 💖

If you recognize yourself in the old version of me, this is for you. 👇🏾
I did everything I thought I was *supposed* to:
→ Harvard Law Degree
→ VP at a multi-billion dollar company
→ The perfect resume
But my successes stopped feeling the way I’d imagined they would.
Instead of feeling excited, I was totally numb and disconnected.
I thought I was the only one. I felt like something was wrong with me.
But after years of coaching hundreds of high-performing women across four continents and hearing the exact same story, the pattern became undeniable.
And I realized….this wasn’t a personal failing.
And the problem wasn’t us. It was the model we’d inherited.
If you feel the way I used to, you’re not alone, and it’s not a “you” thing. It’s a systemic one.
It’s time for a new model for success and leadership, and I’m sharing it with you in one week!
