Coffee Brakes With Steve

"Failure Is Not and Option... Or Is It?" with Lisa Steele

This episode was originally broadcast live on March 18, 2023

We fear failure. We avoid it. The thought of failing makes us cringe, and the reality of failing - in school, work or relationships - can crush us. But is failure necessarily a negative? Can we get beyond the fear, beyond the embarrassment, beyond the stigma to see the times when circumstances don't turn out the way we want as opportunities for growth. Can we even view what those around us call "failure" as something to embrace?

Lisa Steele joins the show to share her perspective on failure, as a public health and organizational development professional, and as someone who - like the rest of us - has addressed failure in her own life.
