Failing a calculus exam in college was caused by my inadequate studying. But it forced me to ask myself hard questions about the work I truly loved—and that which I was likely doing to please others.
In what ways has #failure shown up as a gift in your life?
Complex failures—ones caused by an accumulation of many little things—require multiple layers of defense to combat
Learning from past failures, welcoming false alarms, & building #PsychologicalSafety are great ways to start

Organizations and teams that have #PsychologicalSafety will hear more negatives—not because they are less capable—but because they feel comfortable speaking up about problems, concerns, & questions
So, did your team score more 🟩 or 🟥?
#FailingWell describes the systematic approach to understanding failure: how we think about, talk about, & learn from them
It takes practice & dedication to fail well, but these 5 practices can help you start!
Be curious, ask questions, & challenge your existing beliefs. It's the only way to grow beyond the status quo and progress—as individuals, communities, and society as a whole

We could all use a little more hope right now, so getting the opportunity to appear on their Blue Sky podcast was an honor
Listen🎙 www.theoptimisminstitute.com/episodes/amy...
Our natural motivation to protect our self-image & avoid shame makes it hard to confront our failures constructively.
The good news? This skill can be improved with practice.
Next time you experience failure, ask: What's 1 new thing I learned from this?
Instead, we should inspire workers to return to the office on their own terms
