Sometimes high performance orientation can lead to a stressful behavior of perfectionism, which can lead to self-exploitation and prevent you from setting reasonable priorities. This training helps to better understand your own performance motivation and to find a healthy way to deal with high expectations and an overabundance of tasks.
