Being Perfectly Imperfect - Tom Lipinski
The Ultimate Coach Podcast
Embracing Imperfection: The Kintsugi Philosophy
This chapter explores the concept of perfectionism through the metaphor of kintsugi pottery, which symbolizes embracing one's flaws and imperfections. Personal experiences highlight how the pursuit of perfection can hinder both enjoyment and performance, leading to a realization of being 'perfectly imperfect.' The narrative encourages self-acceptance, authenticity, and the importance of living in the moment to foster personal integrity and meaningful connections.
What happens when you let go of the attempt to be perfect? In Tom Lipinski’s case, he felt relief as he realized that his efforts focused on a desire to look good. He came to realize that he was focusing on himself instead of being in the present moment. You’ll enjoy—and probably relate to—the other lessons Tom has acquired in his journey of BEING perfectly imperfect.
Follow this special conversation with host Meredith Bell as Tom talks about his background and what he learned from “four year-old Tom.” You’ll discover his big take-aways from his experiences with Landmark Worldwide, first as a participant and then as a coach. Tom talks about what he’s learned as an active member of The Ultimate Coach book-reading team on Wednesday nights and how he uses his Document to create himself every day.
Tom is truly a lifelong learner, continuously evolving and growing.
