The 3-2-1 Failure! exercise is a tool for turning failure into learning and leverage for moving forward. The exercise consists of finding a positive return on reflection for a failure you’ve encountered. By transforming this failure into learning, you’ll identify your current means and what resources or knowledge the failure gave you to move forward with. Reflecting on failures will improve future decision making.
If you make the effort to truly understand why things don’t always work,
and take that learning and successfully apply it in how you move forward,
you have NOT failed . . . . . . YOU HAVE LEARNED.
What insights have you gained by failing and trying again?
Follow along next week as I guide the 3-2-1 Failure! exercise step by step while sharing an example of failure in my own life and how it’s been transformed into learning.
