I failed the first time...would I fail the second?

Colleagues,

MVP: Embrace failure – it leads to growth.
 
The flipside of being a podcaster is that you get invited onto podcasts. 
 
Long-time friend and colleague Dr. William Wright had me as a guest on his show The Wright Experience and I gave a less-than-stellar performance. (Sorry William).
 
Last month I was interviewed by the remarkable Josh Stamper, and I did great! GREAT!
 
What was the difference?
 
I prepared for Josh’s show, which I hadn’t realized was a necessity until after my interview with William.
 
The lesson?
 
Failure is an opportunity to grow when we evaluate what went wrong. 
 
My episode on Josh’s podcast, Aspire to Lead, was all about the journey – from being urgent to strategic learner. Please listen here! It is the best articulation I have been able to give about wat I am trying to do and why.
 
Today’s intention: Think about something that hasn’t gone your way. Ask yourself:

• What went well? 
• What was the critical surprise? 
• What could you do differently next time? 
• Should there be a next time?

 
Cheers!
