When burnout hits, it’s rarely about workload. It’s about perfectionism. In this episode of The Butterfly Effect – Advice that Changed Lives, Javier Romero shares the pivotal advice that pulled him out of burnout and reshaped how he approaches change, leadership and life.

Javier Romero is an organisational change expert with 25+ years’ experience helping teams improve effectiveness, efficiency and engagement—especially under pressure. He’s also the founder of Osan.uk, bringing enterprise-level change support to smaller organisations.

His advice? "Perfectionism is the enemy. Stop starting and start finishing." That shift, prompted by a therapist during recovery from burnout, changed everything. From overwhelmed consultant to focused operator, Javier’s journey is a powerful reminder that chasing 'perfect' can destroy progress.

💬 “What is good enough?” became a rally cry for his clients and teams. It cut through overwhelm, silenced conflicting opinions, and focused efforts on what truly matters.
