“Many attorneys call it procrastination.
But as Jordana Confino reminded us on the Abogados Now Podcast, it’s often something much deeper.
Fear of not being perfect.
Fear of disappointing clients or partners.
Fear of saying no.
These perfectionist patterns don’t come from a lack of discipline — they come from fear.
The takeaway:
✔️ Perfectionism doesn’t protect your career — it slows it down.
✔️ Real growth starts when you move forward, even when it’s not perfect.
We’re grateful to Jordana for sharing such powerful insight into the mindset behind high performance and attorney well-being.
What helps you move through perfectionism in your legal work?
