74. Fail More Often: A Growth Hack - Jonathan McCoy, CFRE and Becky Endicott, CFRE
We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits
Found yourself stuck in the vicious cycle of ‘playing it safe’ to avoid failing at all costs? Well friends, it’s time to flip the script. We believe failure just might be what's missing in each of us to grow into the people who take our causes and missions further than ever before.
In our Friday Convo, we dive into how to embrace a healthy mindset around failure, and how to build failure into your bold goals and actions. We also share our simple steps for turning failures into a springboard to growth. Of course you can expect to hear some of our most palm-to-the-face moments too as we embrace failing right alongside you. We’re in this together, friends.
