From red dot to red carpet

Are you a perfectionist? If so, Kirsty MacKay was, too, until she learned a technique to stop focusing on the negatives and accentuate the positives in her life. Using this method, she could let go of the idea of being perfect and embrace the best version of herself.
Many students and people, in general, are perfectionists. They could have a great experience but only focus on the one mess up they made. This talk shows how to change that so that you live a happier, more successful life.
