Context: Nobody gets out of bed to crash a helicopter. And yet mistakes will happen. Sarah can attest to this.
Mistakes are ok… so long as we learn from them, right?
But what if our traditional mindset around mistakes is precisely the reason we don’t learn from them?
And consider this, if an organisation fires someone when they make an honest mistake they’ve just fired the person who has the most information about what went wrong, and is most motivated to put it right.
Being ruled by a fear of failure won’t pay off in the end… but the truth is, no matter how irrefutable the logic is, IT’S HARD TALKING ABOUT MISTAKES
Sarah will share how to change our mindset so that we learn from our setbacks AND we take early corrective action to avoid setbacks in the first place.
And it doesn’t happened by being running away from failure - it happens when we LEAN IN.

Context: The number one thing that holds humans back?
It's FEAR.
It can manifest in different ways; fear of rejection, fear of failure. Let’s be clear - this is what it means to be human. It’s not going anywhere. But it can really interfere with our decision making as a leader. In a team it can lead to group think, censorship and risk aversion.
In fact it’s a real buzz kill.
Whether you are looking for greater inclusivity, better teamwork, or more confident leadership, it’s the same starting point. It’ starts with understanding your fear to understand others, then leveraging it to lead intuitively.
Sarah will deliver outcomes for greater probability of success, collaboration and a culture where people can thrive.
