  13. 9/25/19 ¡ Change your Mindset on Failure ´ “Failure” is as an learning opportunity. ´ “Fear of failure is often the toughest hurdle to jump in leadership. We need to flip the idea of failure on its head. Rather than allowing failure to slow down progress or even prevent us from starting in the first place, leaders can use the power of failure to “fail forward.” Failure is the first step in starting most things. The people you lead are counting on your ability to turn failure into resilience, and it’s a requirement for your growth as a leader.” (Taken from an introduction to a John C. Maxwell podcast of failure) One Approach to Conquering a Fear ´ Lewis Howes ( The School of Greatness ) ´ Put yourself in the situations or roles that you are most afraid of ´ Example: Talking to girls 11 ¡
