Getting out of the Golden Handcuffs: Failures & Lessons as a Leader with Laura Gassner Otting

"We love to talk about failure in hindsight...the question is not whether youll fail or not, the question is will you learn, from the failure?" Redefining our understanding and relationships with failure and challenges, is what set certain people apart. You know the ones that seem to remain so calm and zen regardless of whats happening? The one thing they have in common, alongside this week's guest, is knowing that failure is a potential lesson, and its definitely an opportunity for something new. So how do you get out of your bubble and learn to listen to yourself rather than others? How do you discover doors and reach the success, that you want, the true authentic you? In this weeks episode, Laura Gassner Otting and I discuss how you can positively move through any space with authenticity and understanding of yourself. Its about trying to get some hindsight before it happens. So dont always look and listen for help externally, as you are the only one that can lead yourself.
