Description
No one can be a perfectionist because no one is perfect. And perfectionism is an occupational hazard of the gifted. Although giftedness and perfectionism often go hand-in-hand, perfectionism can have many “faces” and may look different in each individual. In this engaging and practical course, Lisa Van Gemert, M.Ed.T., explains how damaging perfectionism can be and how its strengths can be harnessed for good.
In this 1-hour course you will learn to:
- Identify the five faces of perfectionism in gifted children
- Build strategies to change perfectionism from unhealthy to healthy
- Classify global failure from beneficial adversity
- Utilize Barbara Clark’s model for overcoming failure

The course was hard to manage because it did not run autonomously. It would pause repeatedly at the beginning of each section until all the slides had gone through. Once you had pressed play several times it would play, but by then it was on the last slide and they didn’t correspond with what she was referencing.

An excellent discussion of the many type of perfectionists in our students
Heba – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
It was interesting to learn about the different kinds of perfectionists. I didn’t know that there were different categories.
Caroline – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
The subject matter is great. The video had a hard time playing. I had to continuously press playseveral times for the same section of the video.

SanJuana – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
quite informative
Michael – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
The content is excellent. I have a little challenge with the audio in the slide presentation stopping when the slide did not auto advance..
Melanie – PORT NECHES-GROVES ISD (verified owner) –
I enjoy her references throughout the course. For some reason though it would freeze and then skip slides.
Michelle – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
great speaker but program kept cutting off on each slide, plus, it was much longerthan expected.
CRISTINA V – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
This course allows you invite you to ask students more questions rather than giving an idea on how to feel after a certain event.
Amanda – CLYDE-GREEN SPRINGS EXEMPTED VILLAGE (verified owner) –

NANCY Y – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
Excellent teacher

Lisa Van Gemert is wonderful. This is my second course with her. She is clear and engaging.
The drop-down menu question on the quiz at the end is confusing. Too much information in one question and answers are too similar.
Margaret – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
The video kept stopping, so the presentation was disjointed.
Shane – FAYETTE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS (verified owner) –
Valuable
Kathy – RSU 22 (verified owner) –
The information was great however the audio paused every time any new slide would appear, even if the speaker was in the middle of a sentence. Made listening a bit challenging but again, the information was terrific.
Paige – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
This video was very faulty. Every time a slide changed, the video would stop and I would have to click the play button again.
Jessica – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –
Explain perfectionism and its many faces very well.

Erika – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
This was a very informative course that I can use at home and at school. I did not like that the videos would stop when the picture changed. I had to push play multiple times and then the slides would not line up with that she was saying.
