Recognizing and Learning from Failure

Failure is a valuable opportunity for growth and learning. While failure is subjective and not always one person's fault, it is important to acknowledge how women are often set up to fail due to unrealistic expectations, lack of useful feedback, and underestimation of competence. It is crucial to distinguish between mistakes and failures, as failures are often a result of judgment errors or process mistakes that lead to unpleasant outcomes or missed opportunities. It is important to reflect on failures, take responsibility for one's role in them, and learn from them to prevent repeating the same mistakes in the future.
