Joining me for Episode #22 is <a href='https://tkmgacademy.com/instructor/karen-martin/'>Karen Martin</a>, President of <a href='https://tkmg.com/'>TKMG</a>, and Founder and President of <a href='https://tkmgacademy.com/'>TKMG Academy</a>. She is the author of many <a href='https://amzn.to/3fOJOy4'>books</a> including <a href='https://amzn.to/2VmEusd'>The Outstanding Organization</a> and <a href='https://amzn.to/39uRPaj'>Clarity First</a>.
Today, we talk about Karen's "favorite mistake" of leaving a corporate job to go solo. Why was it a mistake to want the VP title so badly? Why did it seem like a mistake (to her or to others) for her to leave? We also have a great conversation about how to create a culture in a company where it's safe to talk about (and learn from) mistakes.
I also love this quote and you'll have to listen (or read the transcript) to get the context:
"So I think of certainty as being a form of arrogance because we can't actually ever be certain."
