AJ discusses how making mistakes can be a good thing.SHOW NOTES LINKHow Small Mistakes Might Sometimes Exhibit Good Thinking

Your team's mistakes are costing you money, time, and trust. But the real problem may not be your employees… Most law firm owners hire experienced people and assume they should already know what to do. Then deadlines get missed, work must be corrected, clients become frustrated, and the owner gets pulled back into daily operations.In this episode, Richard James exposes the training gap keeping small law firms dependent on their owners. He explains why informal instructions, inherited experience, and a collection of SOPs are not enough to build a reliable team.You will discover:How to reduce costly employee mistakes in a small law firmWhy experienced paralegals still need role-specific law firm trainingHow to create a repeatable employee onboarding system for law firmsHow law firm owners can verify employee competency before delegatingWhy documented law firm processes fail without proof and accountabilityHow to train legal staff to complete work correctly without owner supervisionHow employee training systems help a law firm run without the ownerHow better law firm staff development supports sustainable growth and scalability

When you make an everyday mistake, do you tend to beat yourself up unnecessarily and for too long afterwards? Do you tend to view yourself overly harshly if you don't do something "perfectly" or "the right way"? Risa Williams talks to therapist Stephanie Van Schaick about "making mistakes" and some simple mindset shifts to ease us out of harsh perfectionistic thinking when we're feeling stuck.They discuss:-How being "perfect" can sometimes get mixed into our identity which causes us to overreact when everyday mistakes happen-Learning to use the "five year rule" when viewing what's happened-Collecting data instead of assumptions-Strengthening our sense of humor to pull us out of overly harsh self-talkHost: Risa Williams, risawilliams.com, @risawilliamstherapyGuest: Stephanie Van Schaick, stateofbalancementalhealthcounseling.com, @stateofbalanceforlifeSupport the showFor info on books, workshops, guests, and future episodes, please visit: risawilliams.com.*All tools discussed on the show are meant for educational purposes only and not as a replacement for therapy or medical advice.

What if the very thing you're trying to avoid—making a mistake—was actually the signal that it was finally time to rest?   In this week's conversation, I'm talking with artist Jackie Haynes. We talk about why the rigid discipline of adulthood often makes us fear the very "rinsing" of our skills that leads to new growth. From her more than seventeen years building an indestructible costume business in Manchester to her "handbrake turn" into a PhD in experimental art, Jackie shares why making mistakes is a fundamental part of the creative medicine we all need.   It's an invitation to stop overthinking your way to a creative solution and start finding the creative oxygen that lets you breathe again.   I'm Nancy Norbeck, and I'm your Messy Muse Mentor. I help people feel alive again through curiosity and play.   In this episode, we discuss: The Mistake Rule: Why Jackie only allowed herself to stop working once she messed up—and how it saved her from burnout. The Handbrake Turn: Why closing a successful business to pursue art was an act of self-trust, not failure. Merz Pies: How Jackie uses local landscapes and found objects to tell stories through experimental art. The Power of Play: Why Jackie's 800-costume inventory is now a hands-on archive for community research and curiosity. Ready to send your inner critic to summer camp for an hour?

Life is full of ups and downs, wins and losses, mistakes and lessons. Nobody gets everything right the first time, and sometimes the mistakes we make become the very experiences that shape who we are. This episode of Off the Wall talks about the reality of making mistakes, learning from failure, dealing with setbacks, overcoming difficult moments, and continuing to move forward when life doesn't go as planned. Your past does not have to define your future. Every mistake can teach you something, every setback can make you stronger, and every difficult season can help you grow. If you've ever felt lost, disappointed, discouraged, or like you're falling behind in life, this conversation is for you. Keep pushing, keep learning, and keep becoming the person you're meant to be. Life isn't about being perfect—it's about growth, resilience, self-improvement, accountability, healing, perseverance, patience, discipline

She held two things dear: the privilege of making mistakes, and the right to be a “damn fool”.This episode is a re-air of a conversation between host Elizabeth Mintun and her mother, Margy, who died in January of 2025. They set out to talk about compassionate accountability; how to live aligned with our values without turning that alignment into one more way to fall short. What Margy offers is something roomier. She describes the constriction of inherited shoulds, the moment she saw that her own parameters had shrunk her possibility of living fully, and the slow work of learning her mistakes could be pardoned. It's a short conversation, and a plainspoken one. It may be helpful for anyone carrying a should that was handed to them and would like to feel more grace and love towards themselves. Key takeaways:Shoulds are inherited, usually from people trying sincerely to give us direction - and it's adult work to ask of each one whether we actually embrace it.Rigid parameters of right and wrong don't tend to protect a life; they often shrink it.Mistakes aren't the failure of growth, they're the mechanism of it.Self-forgiveness and forgiving others are the same capacity, practiced in two directions.ResourcesFree Guided Meditation: https://thecalmingground.com/free-guided-meditationQuestions or reflections from this episode?

Spiritual growth is never over, it just gets more subtle. The hidden and deeply rooted assumptions we make about the simplest of things can colour so much of how we approach life, how we treat ourselves, and how we constantly chid and criticise ourselves. Remembering that everything unfolds with perfect timing and decisions can release so much personal judgement and mental noise. AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE CHAPTERS by Portia Nelson I I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost … I am hopeless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. II I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I'm in the same place. But it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. III I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in … it's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. IV I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. V I walk down another street.

Kristi Spence and Patrick from Outrageous Insight chat with Andy Coutant, the former VP of Product at The North Face. We discuss culture, corporate turnarounds, ice climbing and much more. A fascinating conversation. #EarnDelight

In this episode, Clinical Psychologist Mary Miller introduces a practical framework for navigating the emotional toll of high-stakes roles. Using the example of GPs managing a mistake or complaint, she explores how self-criticism and overwork can make things harder, and offers practical tools that can be put into practice straight away.

This week covers a lot of ground, but a single thread runs through all of it: the West's remarkable ability to undermine itself while convinced it is doing the opposite.We start with Trump's visit to China, a summit that was months in the making and amounted to little beyond beef export quotas and Boeing orders. While Xi received Trump, Putin, and twelve other world leaders this year in Beijing, the United States arrived without preparation, without serious agreements, and without a strategic framework. The gap between American destructive capacity and American diplomatic influence has rarely been more visible.Then we turn to Israeli Minister Ben Gvir's decision to film and publish a video of himself touring a detention facility where flotilla activists were held, taunting them for an audience back home. Netanyahu's response, sandwiched between references to Hamas terrorist supporters and deportation orders, managed to make things worse. We examine what this moment reveals, not just about Ben Gvir, but about where Israel is as a country, and why its current trajectory is a threat to its own security far more than to anyone else's.Finally, Modi's European tour ran into the predictable obstacle: a continent that wants new partners but cannot resist lecturing them first. Europe succeeded only in signalling moral superiority to a domestic audience while making it more difficult to connect with India.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

Josh Steiner is a polymath of the New York and D.C. power corridors across government, media, and finance, and co-author of From Mistakes to Meaning: Owning Your Past So It Doesn't Own You. Josh rose to national prominence as the youngest-ever Chief of Staff at the U.S. Treasury in the Clinton administration, where he made a high-profile mistake he unpacks in the book. He pivoted to finance as a media investment banker  and co-founder of private equity firm Quadrangle Group in 2000, worked as an operator at Bloomberg in the 2010s, has served on Yale's Investment Committee for nearly a decade, and five years ago returned to private equity as co-founder of SSW Partners managing capital for a few families. Our conversation focuses on mistakes, quite a contrast from other discussions on the podcast. We kick it off with Josh's big mistake at Treasury and analyze the nature of mistakes and what happened to Josh. We then turn to his mistakes in investing across deals, managing an investment business, managing people, and serving on Investment Committees. We close with frameworks to avoid mistakes and with Josh turning the table on me to discuss an impactful mistake I made that I've never discussed before.

#DaveBaker #PunknHeads #TopShelfProductions #GraphicNovel #IndieComics #ComicsPodcast #NicoleGoux #PunkRockStories #HorrorPunk #BandDrama #ComingOfAge #QueerStories #ComicCreators #BookTalk #Storycomic   Dave Baker is back on the show with a new graphic novel from Top Shelf: Punk'n Heads, co-created with Nicole Goux. It lands April 7, 2026, and it's a raucous, heartfelt story about making art, making mistakes, and trying to figure yourself out while the volume is turned way up. The book follows Hannah Lipsky, an art-school dropout reeling from a breakup who finds herself living in a flophouse and getting pulled into singing for a campy horror-punk band—costumes included. From there it's band dynamics, creative ambition, relationship mess, and that early-adulthood feeling of “I have no idea what I'm doing… but I'm doing it anyway.” We talk about building a full-length graphic novel (216 pages), how Dave and Nicole shaped the tone, what punk lets you say that other genres don't, and what Dave hopes readers walk away with when the last chord hits.   The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.

Have you ever done something and just a moment later, wondered why?  You're not alone.  Your acts create your character and your character defines who you are.  Stop and think, then ask God what you should do.

A decade ago to the day - 25th March 2016 - I launched the first episodes of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast. Somehow, I have just kept interviewing great people about their thoughts on travel, put together episodes almost every week, and magically, I've now been running this podcast for a full ten years! To celebrate, I've compiled some of my very favourite snippets of stories my guests have told me over the years. I've got the sad stories, the hilarious stories, and the ones that gave me advice I've both ignored and also followed! A huge thanks to every listener and every guest over this decade - I appreciate you all so much, because without guests and listeners, this would be a very boring podcast indeed.

We invite you to explore how adopting a “Yes” mentality can transform your leadership communication.  This episode is a practical blueprint for leaders who want to move from hesitation to influence.

Do you ever find yourself paralyzed by the fear of making a mistake at work, no matter how small? In this Coaching Hotline episode, I'm answering two listener questions that dive into how we handle fear, stress, and the pressure to be perfect.The first question is from someone working in a high-stakes field, terrified of making mistakes and facing professional consequences.

In this explosive episode of The Connect, Johnny sits down with Danesa White, better known as Bella Barcode — a former Oakland hustler who built a multi-million-dollar fraud and jewelry embezzlement operation before the age of 21. Raised in the heart of the Bay Area hustle, Danesa breaks down how she went from boosting clothes as a teenager to running sophisticated bank fraud, credit card approval schemes, and high-end jewelry thefts across all 50 states. At her peak, she was clearing hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, selling stolen diamonds, watches, and luxury goods to NFL players and major drug dealers — all while living a jet-set lifestyle that included Dubai, Miami, New York, and beyond. -In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Bella Barcode explains: -How early-2000s bank and credit card fraud actually worked -How jewelry stores could be forced into approving six-figure purchases -The psychology of confidence, misdirection, and playing the role -The moment everything collapsed — arrests, probation violations, and a federal case -Serving 7 years in federal prison and what women's prison is really like -Why she finally chose to tell her story — and the price that came with it Today, Danesa has turned her life around and is inspiring others through her autobiography Recidivism: Beauty Before Bars, proving that survival, accountability, and redemption are possible — even after losing everything. This is one of the most detailed breakdowns of white-collar street crime ever told on the podcast — and a powerful cautionary tale about how fast money can disappear just as quickly as it comes.

We will all make mistakes in our parenting. But what if those mistakes could actually reveal God's power? In this episode, Addison and Juli explore how imperfect parenting can become a space for growth, humility, and faithfulness. They share practical ways to move through the shame that tries to keep us stuck replaying our missteps. Drawing from 1 Peter 4, they show how “love covering sins” isn't about hiding mistakes—it's about creating space for healing, forgiveness, and God's redemptive work. If you've ever felt stuck in shame or guilt as a parent, this episode offers hope and practical ways to move forward in God's grace.____________________________FREE Show Notes Here: https://page.church.tech/3ef1f36e____________________________Support this podcast by joining The Fam (tax-deductible): https://3szn.short.gy/jointhefam

In this powerful episode, Greg Morley—global DEI leader and author of Bond: Belonging and the Keys to Inclusion & Connection—joins Andy to explore what it really takes to foster belonging in the workplace. Together they unpack: The difference between belonging (how we feel) and bonding (what we do). Why inclusion requires intentional action, not just good vibes or policies. How Greg's global experience across 80+ countries shaped his belief in curiosity as a leadership superpower. What happens when we honour intent, not just punish mistakes. And why real inclusion lives in the middle ground—not the extremes. If you've ever felt stuck in the performative DEI conversation or worried about “saying the wrong thing,” this is a must-listen. Practical, warm, and full of insight. ----more---- Key Takeaways Belonging is a feeling; bonding is a choice. One makes people feel included. The other drives commitment and performance. Inclusion is built through micro-behaviours. It's not a programme—it's what leaders say and do every day, especially when no one's watching. Curiosity is an underrated superpower. It builds bridges, sparks self-worth, and disarms fear—especially in tough conversations. We must reclaim the middle ground. Honouring good intent while correcting mistakes makes inclusion sustainable—not performative or punitive. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – Why Inclusion Feels Under Attack in 2025 0:04:14 – Greg Morley's Global DEI Journey 0:13:09 – The Critical Difference Between Belonging and Bonding 0:16:19 – Why Inclusion Isn't a Perk—It's a Performance Strategy 0:19:10 – Curiosity, Culture, and Conversations That Matter 0:30:32 – Making Mistakes, Owning Them, and Moving On 0:36:05 – Allyship, Advocacy, and Action in the Workplace 0:38:01 – Why DEI's Middle Ground Is Where Progress Lives 0:42:32 – Greg's 3 Sticky Notes on Inclusive Leadership ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Greg Morley on LinkedIn here Find Greg's website here Get the book: BOND here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Why is it so hard to deal with uncertainty, and what does that have to do with hoarding? This week I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our brains handle ambiguity, why fear of making mistakes can keep us stuck, and how intolerance of uncertainty feeds into hoarding behaviours. We break down practical ways to build up your tolerance for not knowing and share some strategies that might actually make a difference. Uncertainty and Its Challenges Definition and context of uncertainty Evolutionary reasons for discomfort with uncertainty (Selfish Brain Theory) Contrast between historical resource scarcity and modern abundance Our minds' outdated ways of managing uncertainty Cognitive Closure What is cognitive closure? Difference between cognitive closure (psychological need for definite answers) and “closure” in pop culture (emotional resolution) How it relates to need for certainty in present/future, not just past events The creation of cognitive closure measurement scales by researchers Factors influencing need for cognitive closure: Personality traits: Conscientiousness, neuroticism (now called emotionality), openness to experience, extroversion Trauma history and its effects on the nervous system Neurodivergence (with emphasis on autism and “sticky thinking”) Combination of personality, trauma, and neurodivergence Intolerance of Uncertainty Psychological definition of intolerance of uncertainty Negative cognitive bias: How it affects perception and response Manifestations in people experiencing uncertainty as distress Its direct relevance to hoarding behaviours The Link Between Hoarding Disorder and Intolerance of Uncertainty Research findings: intolerance of uncertainty as a predictor of hoarding symptom severity Usefulness in early intervention strategies intolerance of uncertainty as a transdiagnostic factor (across anxiety, some depression, and other mental health conditions) How heightened anxiety sensitivity in hoarding perpetuates avoidance Experiential avoidance in hoarding (saving and acquiring behaviours) Connection between maladaptive behaviours and intolerance of uncertainty Fear of Making Mistakes and Perfectionism Common fears of mistakes in hoarding (disposing, acquiring, putting things away) Perfectionism's role (fear of failure, not wasting) All-or-nothing thinking and rigid decision-making rules Paralysing effect of avoidance due to fear of mistakes Not making a decision as a potential mistake itself Interaction and reinforcement between perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty Comorbidity and Severity Research on multiple diagnoses: More than half of psychiatric patients have more than one diagnosis Diagnostic challenges and overlapping criteria How comorbidity compounds issues: More symptoms and more complexity Higher intolerance of uncertainty linked with more severe hoarding, especially when other conditions are present Impact on treatment difficulty intolerance of uncertainty's Impact on Acquiring and Discarding Behaviours How acquiring reduces fear of missing out and future needs Difficulty discarding as protection against future regret Shame around mistake-making Common inner questions: Future use, responsibility, relationships More complexity leading to more avoidance Nuances in intolerance of uncertainty and Hoarding Study on sub-factors of uncertainty: Factor 1: Negative self-referential implications (linked to hoarding severity) Factor 2: Perception of uncertainty as unfair (not linked) Internal vs. external perspectives on uncertainty Relevance of anxiety-driven self-criticism Changing Relationship to Uncertainty: Curiosity and Reframing Rilke's quote on “loving the questions” Transforming approach from fear to curiosity Curiosity as a therapeutic tool Creativity in imagining alternatives and solutions Relevance of loss aversion and cognitive biases Modern Life and Uncertainty Intolerance Research linking increased use of technology (instant answers) to rising intolerance of uncertainty Smartphone/information overload and decreased tolerance “muscle” Relevance to hoarding (desire for backups, information saving) Example: IMDb, screenshots, saving digital info Treatment Strategies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) effects on intolerance of uncertainty in anxiety Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and exposure-based methods: Pros and cons Importance of a therapist experienced in error-related distress and uncertainty Key skills: Observing distress, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, gradual exposure Self-help approaches: Reframing mistakes as learning Practicing self-compassion Values-based decision-making Systematic exposure to small errors Gradually breaking rigid rules (e.g., waste, tidiness) Recognising individual differences and seeking appropriate support Embracing Mistakes and Humanity Learning from therapist/client anecdotes Cultural expectations around perfectionism vs. real human messiness How mistakes can be positive or even entertaining Letting go of the need for perfection The Four Cs for Managing Uncertainty From Elizabeth Weingarten: Curiosity, Conversation, Community, Commitment How to foster each: Curiosity: Approach with questions and exploration Conversation: Discuss uncertainties with trusted people Community: Build social support Commitment: Dedication to exploring questions and knowing when to let go Links Hillman, S.

Making Mistakes at Practice: A Foundation for Growth https://teachhoops.com/ Practice is the designated arena for making mistakes, and coaches should embrace this reality as a cornerstone of player development. Rather than viewing errors as failures, they ought to be framed as invaluable learning opportunities, essential for mastering complex skills and decision-making in the heat of competition. Creating an environment where players feel safe to take risks and err without fear of immediate reprimand is paramount. This psychological safety encourages experimentation and allows players to push their boundaries, ultimately leading to deeper understanding and more robust skill acquisition. A coach's reaction to mistakes sets the tone for the entire team's growth mindset. To effectively leverage mistakes at practice, coaches can employ several strategies. Providing immediate, constructive feedback is crucial, focusing on what happened and how to correct it, rather than dwelling on the error itself. Encouraging repetition of the correct technique after a mistake helps solidify the proper execution. Furthermore, fostering a "next play" mentality teaches players resilience and the ability to move on from errors quickly, preventing mental blocks. By consistently reinforcing that mistakes are part of the learning journey—opportunities for analysis and improvement—coaches can transform common practice errors into powerful lessons that build confidence and competence.

We're celebrating Pride Month, and to kick us off, Amy and Brandi get real about the unfiltered, often uncomfortable truth of being LGBTQ+ in the workplace—where invisibility can feel safer than honesty, and “inclusion” doesn't always include you. In this 'best of' episode, they unpack the messy layers of LGBTQ+ identity at work—from pronoun politics and people-pleasing to being “the only one” in the room. If you've ever felt unseen at work—or want to ensure your team doesn't have to—this one's for you. Showing up matters more than getting it perfect.
