Learning from Failure and Success
Failure is trendy. Every day you can read about failure being celebrated for lessons learned. People are encouraged to fail as fast as they can, with buzzwords exhorting "Fail Fast," "Fail Big," and "Fail Often." But while you certainly can learn from failures, you can also learn powerfully from successes. The key is to take advantage of all your experiences to learn essential lessons that will help you prosper in the future. In this course, you'll learn methods to glean growth and learning from any experience, and to identify each stage of the success cycle to make that happen. You'll also examine actions that allow you to learn from setbacks or even mistakes, and how to use your successes to inspire and guide you to future triumphs.

Developing a Mindset of Growth and Learning
You might think the term "growth mindset" refers to the growth of an organization, or even economic growth. While the effects of a growth mindset ripple throughout the business, it starts with an individual believing they are capable of growing, evolving, and learning. In this course, you'll learn how a growth mindset manifests, and why it can make life and work better in many ways. You'll also learn tools to build your growth mindset, challenge the fixed mindset thinking that can mire you in negativity, and employ resilience techniques to help you maintain an attitude of possibility, learning, and growth even in the face of setbacks.
