høje forventninger
Explanation:
Jeg synes, at både Lone og Rikkes forslag er gode, men ved, at man blandt andet inden for områderne psykologi og personlig udvikling taler om "at have høje forventninger til sig selv", "skrue ned for forventningerne", "ikke være for hård ved sig selv", etc. Du vil sikkert kunne finde mange anvendelige formuleringer ved en søgning på Google.

høje standarder/højt ambitionsniveau


Explanation:
Det kan godt være, hvis man stræber efter meget høje standarder, at man ikke vil bruge "høje standarder". Ikke desto mindre er det meget brugt. Se link nedenfor.
"Højt ambitionsniveau" kan også bruges, når det handler om en person.
