The Courage to Reflect and Learn from Our Mistakes

After interviewing ex-All Blacks player Nick Evans last week I was inspired by Nick’s capacity to reflect and learn from failure. To really diagnose the problem and articulate what needs to be done differently in the future. 

 

The intellectually thoughtful you and I may say we welcome failure and that we know we can learn from failure, but then there is the emotional you and I that very often struggles with it.

 

If we are not learning from each of our failures, it's hard to say if they are in fact contributing to our growth. 

 

The intention for today’s episode is to get clear on how you currently deal with failures and then develop a process for how you will deal with failures in the future.

 

I draw on some of Ray Dalio’s work in this area. Ray refers to mistake-based learning.
