The Power of Failure
It's the ‘F’ word that haunts us and threatens to destroy everything we try to do. But is failure really such a bad thing? As James Joyce said, ‘mistakes are the portals of discovery’. In this lecture I’ll explore how we can use failure as a catalyst to improve our resilience and self-confidence, paradoxically helping us to become happier and more successful.
