She sheds\n  light on how perfectionism manifests among professionals\, contributing\n  to burnout\, imposter syndrome\, and harsh self-criticism\, challenges\n  that many social workers and helping professionals face.\nDrawing on decades of research and real-world experience\, Dr. Molnar\n  offers evidence-based tools to cultivate self-compassion\, enhance\n  motivation\, and create a healthier balance in daily life. Through\n  warmth and clarity\, she combines scientific insights with personal\n  stories to help audiences rethink their definitions of success and\n  develop resilience.\nThis presentation is designed to empower social workers with\n  practical strategies to support their own well-being and that of the\n  clients they serve\, fostering sustainable growth and healthier\n  perspectives in a demanding and achievement-oriented world.\n \nBiography of Presenter:\n\n  Dr. Danielle Sirianni Molnar holds a Ph.D. in\n  psychology and is a Canada Research Chair in Adjustment and Well-Being\n  in Children and Youth.
