This week’s episode is about mistakes. Mistakes we’ve made and mistakes we’ve seen colleagues or employees make. We are sharing these mishaps and the lessons learned from them. While we can’t help you not make any mistakes at all, hopefully, this conversation will open your eyes to things that are potential pitfalls in the workplace. It’s important to note that errors happen to everyone and it’s impossible to learn if you don’t make them. So, if you make mistakes, embrace them, and move forward. We also raise an important topic - the value of team support and everyone taking responsibility for blunders on a job or at the office.
