The Leadership Corner

Failing Forward with Jon Layton


Listen Later

Today we are going to talk with Jon Layton, CEO of Layton

Consulting.  Layton Consulting  is a specialty engineering firm that focuses on glass and cladding on buildings, and you can see their work literally around the world.  Now, I have to tell you that
as I was doing my interview with Jon, there was a sticker on his computer that was a quote from Peter Pan that absolutely typifies this guy.  The quote is “To live would be an awfully big adventure”.

Jon’s story is pretty incredible. In his early 30s he is put into a position that would overwhelm the best of us. I’m not going to spoil the story, but through these experiences, Jon learned what it truly means to fail forward.  His raw emotion, humility, and humour is on full display as he shares these lessons and as he teaches us all how to recognize our limits, and the power of pizza and pasta when you are feeling alone in the journey.
