The Sage Sayers: The Gem in the Woods. Finding Hidden Gifts (and Joy) Within Failure

from The Sage Sayers · host Debbi Gardiner McCullough

Whether we view failure with fear, shame, or disdain, culturally and generationally we can see many different ways we respond to failure.  Although I've lived and worked within cultures which find failure off-putting and signaling incompetence, I'm working to welcome failure as a vital segue to meaningful growth. (Mental fitness and finding the Sage perspective within setbacks really helps!)In this personal story, I share an epic career blunder and how it presented gifts, opportunities, and knowledge I'm still benefiting from today.  I hope my story helps you feel less mortified when (or if) you next experience a flop at work or within life.  Interested in the Positive Intelligence training program, visit here or hire Debbi as your group or individual PQ Certified Coach.
