Wir alle kennen den Spruch: "Aus Fehlern wird man klug". Doch warum tun wir uns dann immer noch so schwer, offen und konstruktiv damit umzugehen? In Folge 46 unseres Reverse-Mentoring-Podcasts diskutieren wir, warum es höchste Zeit ist, von einer Fehler- zu einer echten Lernkultur zu wechseln. Das sind die Fragen, über die wir sprechen: 1. Warum suchen wir in Deutschland immer noch häufiger Schuldige statt Ursachen? 2. Wie sieht eine echte Lernkultur aus und was unterscheidet sie von einer reinen Fehlerkultur? 3. Warum lernen Luftfahrt und Medizin intensiver aus Fehlern als viele “normale” Unternehmen? 4. Wie beeinflusst Schlafmangel unsere Fehlerquote im Beruf? 5. Was steckt hinter Amy Edmondsons bahnbrechender Forschung zur Psychologischen Sicherheit in Teams? 6. Wie können uns Beispiele von Google, Microsoft oder Toyota zeigen, wie wir Fehler produktiv nutzen? 7. Was lernen wir von intelligenten Fehlern und warum sind sie essentiell für Innovation? 8. Wie gehen unterschiedliche Generationen mit Fehlern um und was können sie voneinander lernen? Von Kaizen und Checklisten bis hin zu „Fail Fast“ und Fuck-up Nights, wir sprechen offen darüber, warum es gut ist, wenn Teams nicht nur offen über Fehler sprechen, sondern sie aktiv nutzen, um besser zu werden. In der nächsten Woche gibt es eine Kollab-Folge mit #OTWTNW und unserem neuen Stammgast Pa. M. K. Sinyan, Regional Managing Partner bei Gallup, mit dem wir über die ganz aktuellen Zahlen der Studie “State of the Global Workforce” sprechen!

Katie Curry doesn't follow a path—she redraws the map. In this first of a two-part conversation, we explore her journey from communist Bulgaria to the heart of Wall Street, from technical risk roles to creative leadership. Katie shares how she builds mental toughness, adapts across industries, and leads Gen Z with humor and humility. Through it all, she reminds us that reinvention isn't something you do once—it's a muscle you build. For Gen Xers who know how to change ambitiously, this is reinvention with purpose, not panic.>>From Bulgaria to the Big Apple“On that bus in Manhattan, I said—I want to work here one day.”Katie's first reinvention wasn't a job—it was a total life shift. Growing up in a small town under communism, she shares how dreaming big and thinking globally reshaped her trajectory.>>Credit, Creativity, and Everything in Between“I've led analysts, operators, and creatives. You can't lead them the same way.”Katie breaks down how she adapted her leadership style across radically different teams—from rating derivatives to managing editors—and what each one taught her about people and power.>>Risk Isn't a Concept—It's a Practice“Some of my biggest breakthroughs came from the biggest pivots.”With a career built around risk—from Citi to S&P to insurance tech—Katie reveals how she balances data and gut instinct, logic and psychology, and why you should never expect certainty before you leap.>>Fail Fast, Learn Hard“If you've never failed, you're playing too safe.”Katie redefines success through her personal KPIs: energy, impact, relationships, and learning. And she makes a strong case for post-traumatic growth—yes, even at work.>>Leadership with Presence and Punch“During COVID, my kids watched me lead from our kitchen table. That was my real resume.”Whether she's coaching a Gen Z team or raising one at home, Katie leads with clarity, care, and curiosity—and she's not afraid to be both the strategist and the student._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Katie Curry --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In this episode of Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata revisits his conversation with Daniela Landher, a former head of talent engagement at Google and now an executive coach specialising in psychological safety at work. They discuss the importance of embracing failure as a means to foster innovation and growth within organisations. Daniela shares insights on creating psychologically safe environments where employees feel comfortable discussing mistakes without fear of repercussions. The conversation touches on concepts like "fail fests," where teams openly discuss project failures to learn from them, and the idea of "failing fast" to encourage rapid learning and adaptation. Daniela also highlights the role of leadership in showing personal vulnerability and openness about their mistakes, thereby setting the tone for the entire organisation. Andy and Daniela explore how traditional educational systems and corporate cultures often inhibit this mindset, emphasising the need for a cultural shift towards acceptance of failure as a learning opportunity. Key Takeaways: 1. Embracing failure fosters innovation and growth in organisations. 2. Psychological safety is crucial for open discussions about mistakes. 3. "Fail fests" help teams learn collectively from past errors. 4. Leaders should model vulnerability by owning up to their own mistakes. 5. Traditional systems often discourage a healthy approach to failure. 6. A culture that accepts failure as a learning opportunity leads to better organisational outcomes.

Doug Friedman joins the podcast to talk about one of the toughest challenges in biotech—how to survive long enough to actually make an impact. As the head of BioMADE, he's on a mission to build a bioindustrial manufacturing ecosystem that doesn't just rely on wishful thinking and a single grant check. He explains why most biotech startups get only "one shot on goal" (spoiler: they miss, they're done) and how we can fix that. Think of it like debugging a bad DNA sequence—you need iteration, not instant perfection. Doug also discusses how government funding is shaping the future of biomanufacturing, why biology today is where semiconductors were in the ‘80s, and why scaling biology might just need its own version of Moore's Law. Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and interview the leaders and influencers changing the world by growing everything.

Why you should fail fast? Samantha Card has some convincing reasons. Samantha Card played Division 1 softball on a scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh after transferring her sophomore year. As a dedicated athlete, she became the captain of the softball team while also pursuing her chemistry degree in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, Department of Chemistry. Throughout her collegiate sport career, she became a solidified roster starter and three, four power hitter. Upon graduation, she pursued her master's in business administration at Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, where she also studied abroad in Marseille France at Euromed Marseille Ecole de Management. From there, she catapulted up the fortune 100 corporate ladder, while always keeping a pulse on sports through mentoring college athletes, her true passion. She also became a dynamic speaker, motivating athletes everywhere. In episode 495 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, Samantha tells us why she transferred to the University of Pittsburgh to play Division I softball, how she was able to balance sports and academics as a college student, why she had a full-blown identity crisis after graduating, how sports helps her excel in the business world, why you should fail fast, how she's able to mentor other athletes and get them where they want to go, how Samantha knows a good deal from a bad one in terms of getting paid for your brand and likeness, how you can manage the relationships around you as your are building a championship routine, and what our listeners will learn by buying her book called "Success Beyond Game Day". Enjoy!
In this episode, Bo Kemp, CEO of the Southland Development Authority discusses his unique approach to economic development through a not-for-profit organization that operates with the agility and risk-taking mindset of a for-profit business. Kemp emphasizes the importance of failing fast and pivoting quickly to optimize programs and services. He explains how his organization is structured to evaluate and stop initiatives that aren't delivering the expected impact, which contrasts with traditional non-profits that often have difficulty abandoning projects due to the lengthy fundraising and validation process. His goal is to take on the risks that for-profit businesses avoid, using innovative techniques like measuring social impact and partnering with businesses to drive wealth-building at the municipal level. Kemp also shares how his team is working to monetize their services by offering their proven models to other municipalities. For example, their business growth services could be replicated in cities like Tucson, Arizona, allowing other communities to benefit from their expertise and infrastructure without having to start from scratch. Kemp's team uses tools like Salesforce and data science to manage relationships and measure success, which they are willing to share with other cities to support broader economic growth. The conversation highlights Kemp's vision of blending for-profit efficiency with non-profit values to foster sustainable, community-centered development. Like this show?

When it comes to alumni engagement, few Owls are as deeply connected as Tim Okabayashi. A proud Rice Business alum, Tim not only earned his MBA here but also served as president of the Rice Business Student Association, volunteered with the admissions office, and played a key role in the consulting club. In October 2020, Tim and fellow alum Karen Crofton '10 launched the Owl Have You Know podcast, bringing the vibrant stories of Rice alumni to life.Today, Tim is a consulting manager for SLB's end-to-end emissions solutions. His career has taken him from Kuala Lumpur, where he supported operations across Asia, to his current home in London, where he lives with his wife Casey and their two children.In this episode, host Maya Pomroy '22 — who shares not just a Rice connection but also a high school alma mater with Tim — catches up with him on his dynamic career, the power of the Rice alumni network, and his ongoing dedication to the school that shaped his journey. Tune in to hear about Tim's international experiences, his insights on the evolving energy sector, and how embracing failure is key to driving innovation.Episode Guide:00:55 High School Reunion and Rice Connection02:07 Choosing Rice for his MBA04:31 Engagement with the extensive Rice Alumni Network09:53 Launching this Podcast!16:27 Tim's Career Journey Post-Graduation18:32 International Assignments and Family Support20:26 The Future of Energy and SLB31:11 Personal Reflections and AdviceOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On the future of energy21:36: [Maya] What do you see for the future? You know, because we have energy transition, we've got so many exciting things on the horizon, also with AI and drilling technology, and clean energy. What are you the most excited about, of what's coming up in the next, I mean, five to seven years? 21:55: [Tim Okabayashi] I'm most excited about the continuation of that, of just the advancement of technology throughout the oil field and new energy, and alternative energy, and transition energy. Like at the heart of it, the research and development; technology development is really the key enabler. And it takes time to develop this technology, commercialize it, and then have adoption, right? And this process requires people. And yes, big data and AI can certainly assist, but at the heart of it, there's still this need for people and researchers and ideas and science.On the growing impact of Owl Have You Know podcast15:21: The opportunities to expand your reach virtually are pretty phenomenal these days. And, I think the Owl Have You Know platform is a great one that continues to grow and expand with the different programs and subject themes, and the interviews with the staff and academics and highlighting the research, I think it's incredible. I think there's a lot of room for how I'll have, you know, to become a really central part of Rice business as well as the business community.Tim's global perspectives in oil and gas19:59: [Maya] You've worked a lot in Asia and in the Asian market. What were some of the surprises and some of those aha moments while you were in Asia?20:07: [Tim Okabayashi] One of my biggest learnings was actually passed to me from a colleague. And at the time, I kind of brushed it off, but he said, like, "You know, Tim, the world is such a small term for such a large place." And I think often in times in oil and gas, we think of the natural resources, you know, crude or natural gas, as really being just commodities, and it's the same anywhere. But that's really not true. I mean, to a certain degree, it is by the chemistry, but then again, the methods and the people and the culture around the activities in different parts of the world can be uniquely different. And that is something that I had grown to have a great appreciation of when I moved abroad.Show Links: MBA Student Clubs - Rice BusinessConsulting Club – Career Development Office | Rice BusinessRice AllianceKaren Crofton | Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice UniversityTranscriptGuest Profiles:Tim Okabayashi | LinkedIn SLBMic Check | Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University
This episode we are joined by the brilliant Stefan Gaillard, the co-founder and current chair of the Journal of Trial & Error, a journal dedicated to highlighting the importance of trial and error in scientific practice and scholarship.Trial and error is part of the scientific method but most of us are risk averse because we are so afraid of failure or we take great lengths to cover up anyone finding out that we have failed. There is so much shame around admitting to failure, especially in cybersecurity when, lets face it, most of us will experience the failure of our security controls eventually. But to hide from failure, not only from ourselves but also our peers, means missing out on important learning opportunities. We need to change this! If we don't think about failure more, we are doomed to keep failing.This episode we explore the importance of removing the stigma from failure, the benefits AND the dangers of tech's ‘fail-fast' mentality, what it's like to live in the information overload age and finally, the importance of trial and error. Key Takeaways:Removing the Stigma of Failure: Learn why it's crucial to view failure as a stepping stone rather than a setback. Stefan discusses how changing our perception of failure can lead to more innovative solutions.Blame the System, Not the Individual: Discover the importance of considering human factors in cybersecurity incidents. Stefan explains why blaming individuals is often counterproductive and how systemic changes can prevent future errors.The Information Overload Age: We've left the "Information Age" behind and entered the era of "Information Overload." With so much data and misinformation circulating, how do we stay focused and make informed decisions? Stefan shares his thoughts on how to navigate this landscape while avoiding cognitive overload.Fail Fast, Innovate Faster: What are the pros and cons of a "fail-fast" mentality in tech? Stefan takes us through the benefits of quick iteration and the dangers of overpromising, using examples from AI winters and the current AI hype cycle. Understanding when to abandon a product or pivot can be the difference between success and stagnation.Changing your mind is part of progress. Don't fear shifting narratives when presented with new facts.Keywords: cybersecurity, trial and error, testing, failure, experimentationShow NotesThe Journal of Trial and ErrorThe British Library's Cybersecurity Incident ReviewCountering the Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Underpinnings Behind Susceptibility to Fake News: A Review of Current Literature With Special Focus on the Role of Age and Digital LiteracyOverpromising in science and technology: An evaluative conceptualizationTen simple rules for failing successfully in academiaAbout Stefan GaillardStefan Gaillard is the co-founder and current chair of the Journal of Trial & Error, a journal dedicated to highlighting the importance of trial and error in scientific practice and scholarship. For this work he was selected for the Forbes 30 Under 30 list of 2024. Besides chairing the journal, Gaillard is currently pursuing a PhD in ‘Philosophy and Science Studies'. His research focuses on overpromising – what is it, how can we recognize it and when does science fail to correct it? In addition, he is project coordinator at The New Utrecht School, an interdisciplinary platform for urgent discussions on the interaction between the health domain, the arts, and the sciences and humanities. The New Utrecht School and the Journal of Trial and Error are currently hosting a series of lunch lectures and publishing a special issue on ‘Scientific failure and uncertainty in the health domain'.LINKS FOR Stefan GaillardStefan's LinkedInStefan's X Account

Strap in, folks! We're taking a wild ride from the sunny shores of Nassau to the frosty plains of North Dakota with none other than Sheldon King, the Territory Sales Manager at Mattress Firm North Dakota. This isn't just a story of selling beds—it's a masterclass in embracing challenges, finding purpose in every corner of life, and speaking life into every moment. Sheldon King, originally hailing from the Bahamas, shares his incredible journey—from falling in love (with his wife Bailey and North Dakota's unique culture) to managing ten thriving mattress stores across the state. Sheldon brings his rich tapestry of experiences, from track and field at Dickinson State University to navigating the ups and downs of sales, all while wrangling cattle on horseback (well, sometimes from a Kubota). His path to success in the mattress industry wasn't just about selling products; it involved a significant transition from a spec-heavy, product-focused approach to a more effective, story-driven, customer-centered strategy. Along the way, Sheldon has gleaned invaluable leadership lessons from his mentors, shaping a management style that emphasizes building relationships, understanding customer needs, and leading with empathy—wisdom that has propelled his career to new heights. Key Takeaways: Speak Life into Every Challenge: Sheldon's philosophy is simple but profound—choose positivity, and you'll attract success. Fail Fast, Learn Faster: Whether it's selling mattresses or wrangling cattle, Sheldon believes in the power of quick failures to fuel rapid growth. Building Relationships: It's not just about the sale; it's about building trust, solving problems, and ultimately changing lives. From Skeptic to Success: Sheldon recounts his initial skepticism about the mattress industry and how a single, heartfelt customer interaction changed everything. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right. Tune in to hear how Sheldon keeps it light while crushing it in the mattress game.

In this episode of The Coaching Psychology Pod, host Dr. Natalie Lancer, with Raul Aparici, an integrative coach and psychotherapist, and Dr. Susan Kahn, a psychodynamic coaching psychologist, engage in a rich discussion about the nuances of psychodynamic coaching. We explore the wounded and celebrated self, emphasising the need for coaches to be self-aware and to understand their own vulnerabilities. The conversation also covers the contributions of influential thinkers such as Winnicott and Bion, and the use of creative techniques in coaching. The importance of ethical boundaries, supervision, and respecting client defenses in deep psychodynamic work is highlighted. We ask: What is psychodynamic coaching? What is the difference between psychotherapy and psychodynamic coaching? Which tools and concepts are useful in psychodynamic coaching? Does goal-setting show up in psychodynamic coaching? What are the challenges in using psychodynamic terminology with clients? Why is containment, referral and maintaining boundaries in the coaching relationship important? What roles do supervision, reflective practice and self-awareness have in psychodynamic coaching work? Who are influential thinkers in the field of psychodynamic coaching? How can we train in psychodynamic coaching? What are the risks and rewards of psychodynamic coaching? The importance of taking a client-centred approach is emphasised in psychodynamic coaching. It privileges understanding the unconscious and the here and now in coaching relationships, such as unpicking transference and counter transference in coaching sessions. Psychodynamic coaching draws upon a rich lineage of a specific set of assumptions and philosophical foundations, aspects of which we cover in our conversation. Learn how this distinctive approach can be integrated into your coaching practice with expert guidance and education in this field.

Kim Getgen moved to Silicon Valley from Washington D.C. in 2000, just in time for the dot com bubble burst. Despite her timing, she fell hard for the excitement and opportunity of startups and technology innovation. Kim launched and worked at many startups, but also took roles in larger organizations where she gravitated toward “intrapreneurship.” But after suffering burnout four years ago, she started thinking about ways to encourage innovation among intrapreneurs in risk-averse sectors like utilities.In 2021 she founded InnovationForce to guide innovators, and their teams, through a repeatable, rigorous, and democratic process for vetting and testing new technologies. Kim's goals are to promote workplace psychological safety for intrapreneurs and to help utilities keep new decarbonization technologies out of pilot purgatory.
