When was the last time you failed? If you’re like most people, you’d rather not say, and instead, bury those shortcomings along with the feelings of shame, regret, and embarrassment that often accompany them. That’s a big mistake because embracing your failures is the key to #success ; here are three ways to do so: 1. Reframe failure as a necessity. Failure and success aren’t mutually exclusive; they’re connected. Leaders use failure as fuel, maintaining grit, and perseverance to keep going. By reframing failure as an ingredient of success—rather than a negative alternative—you’ll adjust your mindset to a more positive one where see failure as a necessity. 2. Take risks to grow. There is no growth in your comfort zone. To achieve personal and professional development, you must take risks—even if that means you might fail. When you muster up the courage and make a choice to take action, those risks become a chance to grow. By adopting a #growth mindset, you view every interaction, every project, and yes, every failure as an opportunity to get better. 3. Make mistakes to learn. Your ability to adapt to failures is vital; failure is only a mistake if you failed to learn. Try keeping a “failure resume” of all your biggest screw ups—and what you learned. #leadership
