In this episode, Roxanne chats with Sarah McVanel about her recent book exploring failure through interviews with notable Canadians. They discuss Sarah's personal experiences with failure, the challenges of starting a new business, and the importance of vulnerability in leadership. They also delve into the concept of "failure resilience" and its application in everyday life.
Failure...what a daunting word, but what if we embrace failure and take it as a great opportunity? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Recognition Expert, Sarah McVanel to discuss her new book FLIP Side of Failing: How to Recognize and Leverage Greatness in Work and Life.
