In this episode, I’m talking about one of my favourite “taboo” subjects of all time: Failure. The more we can get comfortable having real, meaningful conversations about what it means to fail, when we fail, and how we handle failure, the better we will become at moving through the mistakes we are all, inevitably, going to make!
I want the conversation about failure to be ongoing on this show because I think it needs to be ongoing in our workplaces – and leaders, and yes, that includes all you entrepreneurs, have the unique ability to make safe spaces to talk about failure openly and without judgement. I wanted to start this conversation here because I believe it’s imperative that we change our relationship with the idea of failure on an individual level. Part of that starts from recognizing and shifting the paradigms that we have in our head—right or wrong, win or lose, pass or fail. “We stay in those paradigms because categories make our brains very happy.”
The more we can lean into the idea that “Failures” are opportunities to practice something and gather data the more we can continue to learn and grow inside of that same thing, or take that data and find a different way of doing things.
