"I found the program to be incredibly helpful in building awareness of some of the tendencies that cause me to feel stress at work (and at home!), and in providing concrete tools to approach my life in a more sustainable, playful and connected way. I also believe the program is valuable even if you don’t strongly identify as a perfectionist, in part to gain greater awareness of societal patterns and healthy mental practices and/or to better understand how to support colleagues with perfectionist tendencies. The class ultimately freed up time in my daily life because I eliminated a couple of time-wasting habits, including obsessing over some small decisions."

We've helped Stanford graduates live the full, joyful, connected lives they desire
Beyond Perfect Founder and CEO Ashley Carter (MBA '13) intimately understands the gifts of a Stanford education -- including the learning, friendships and brand that go hand-in-hand with the experience. And she also knows all-too-well how the weight of the expectations that come with the degree can cause some women to get stuck in exhausting patterns of perfectionism.
​
Those experiences led her to design Beyond Perfect, a 10-week program focused on helping high-achieving women better understand their perfectionism, practice approaches to go beyond the perfectionist cycle, and build a supportive community of like-minded women along the way. Upon completion, participants have ongoing access to resources, inspiration and support as part of the Beyond Perfect alumni community.
Past participants, many of them Stanford grads, have shared that they have made meaningful progress in understanding their perfectionist patterns, now feel equipped to use more effective and sustainable approaches, and have experienced the joy, pride, and satisfaction that comes with going beyond the perfectionist cycle.
