Excited to announce that I am giving a TedX talk this October.
Truth is that I had previously applied for similar opportunities and was rejected
Behind any achievement resides failure.
It is an essential ingredient for learning and personal growth.

So true. Thomas Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. I was once told by an old boss that I was a horrible writer. I ended my career writing materials for a Fortune 500 company.

Such an important reminder!
Even the great ones experience failure.
The key is how do we respond to those setbacks.

Thank you for the kind words and offer!
I am staying local for the talk. However, it will be recorded and available for all to see on video.

Congratulations, and thank you for your humility in the reminder that failures are not only inevitable, but necessary stepping stones on the way to doing almost anything of value. I can’t wait to watch it!

I appreciate the kind words.
Our society is quick to highlight success and dismiss failure.
Yet, failure is an essential ingredient for personal growth and learning.
