Β Week 6 Introduction
Failing Forward & Leading Yourself Well
Itβs the final week of the Better You Course and weβre focusing on failing forward. Failing forward is the #1 most important skill when it comes to leading yourself well and leading others.
In life, itβs not a matter of if you will fail. Itβs just a matter of when you will fail and how you will respond.
We all will fail at some point in our journey but winners and leaders dust themselves off, learn from their mistakes, and see it as an opportunity to get better. As difficult as it may be, itβs time to redefine failure and start embracing the lessons it can teach.
It took JK Rowling 7 years to write the first Harry Potter book and then all 12 major publishing houses rejected the story.
217 of 242 investors turned down Howard Schultz, the business leader who brought Starbucks to the world.

This course is about being better every day, but there are going to be days you fail. Letβs finish strong and become experts at failing forward.
