    Julia Zarro | 4 Tips for Dropping the Need for Perfection and the Science Behind Why We Can Multitask So Well

    You are already perfect! Yes, today we are going to be talking about the importance of working passionately at what you love, not sacrificing your life and avoiding that driving need for perfection, whilst we explore the science behind multi-tasking and why us women are just so good at it (and forget we need to keep it in balance).

    Research has shown women find it easier than men to multitask and switch between tasks. Women can jump between incoming emails, phone calls, and assignments, while running in and out of meetings more easily.  However, both women and men slowed down and made more mistakes as they switched tasks and tried to work faster.  You are going to discover more today about multitasking and why letting go of being 200% perfect is ok.

    Nicola’s very special guest today is her best friend and sister, Julia Zarro, who is the very epitome of being able to balance life and work whilst leading an Experiential Marketing Agency for some of the largest Tech organizations in the world.
