“FAIL AND FAIL FAST” – it's the catch-cry currently echoing from Silicon Valley to entrepreneurial kids trying to make a buck with their latest dance routines on TikTok.
But as the great philosophers Chumbawamba sang, if you get knocked down, you can get back up again. How do you fail, but more importantly, recover?
Curveball’s the podcast where leaders tell you how they’ve dealt with huge challenges and crises – and you’d better believe these people have pretty impressive failure resumes!
But there’s owning your failures, and then there’s the really tricky part. Getting past them. Moving on. And maybe even getting back on the horse.
It’s time to learn from the leaders who’ve been through it all, how they bounced back and what they learned doing it.
