You Must Be Mistaken - a podcast by Tara Kemes, Sarah Markwick and Sandy Gunn

Phrases like, “we learn from our mistakes,” and “fail fast, fail often” imply that there is no shame in making a mistake. Is that really true? Or are we mistaken? While we are surrounded by learning opportunities every day, we’re not sure that all mistakes are treated equally. On today’s episode, we talk about the reality of making mistakes at work. 

Key Takeaways:

• There is a difference between good faith mistakes vs bad faith mistakes. Good faith mistakes, generally, don’t destroy trust. 
• Making responsible mistakes is inevitable when we try and get away from perfection paralysis! This is the same when we are growing in our careers and trying things for the first time.
• If we say we are encouraging and forgiving of learning mistakes made by others, are we as forgiving with ourselves when we make a mistake?
