FAR OUT #153 ~ Making Mistakes: It’s Not “If,” It’s “When”

Episode Description

In shamanism and in business it's not "if" you are going to make a mistake, it's "when" you make a mistake. The important thing is what you do next. Julie-Roxane shares a recent mistake she made which sparks a conversation on the deeper implications of giving ourselves and others the freedom to make mistakes---and what happens when we don't.

Listen and explore:

  • “Correct it” – Julie-Roxane’s recent mistake

  • The fears we have of “coming clean” with our mistakes and why the truth is often exactly the opposite

  • Mistakes are how we learn how to think for ourselves

  • “Ask for forgiveness, not permission”

  • Responding to mistakes: the blame game vs. curious inquiry

  • Transmuting lead into gold: Alasdair’s $5,000 mistake

  • Why you don’t want to work with someone who isn’t making mistakes

  • Life is easier when we surround ourselves with people who feel empowered to make mistakes

  • Holding space for each other’s mistakes (and holding each other accountable) is love
