I like your approach to mistakes, Michał. Was there a moment or experience that made you start seeing them as opportunities rather than setbacks?

There wasn’t a single, easily noticeable moment in time.

It was a long process of changing this perception.

I'm glad you liked this approach, Doina!

I think it also applies to our writing. I remember how you described the feeling right before publishing an article. Some posts might be so-so, and some will be great. I feel like it’s similar to doing something and making (potential) mistakes.

We talk about “learning from mistakes” like it’s optional. But honestly, the bigger mistake is pretending you didn’t make one.

📌 Denial is the only blunder you can’t recover from.

Love your point about leaders admitting their own mistakes. It really does set the example for others and helps build trust and openness in an organization.

I'm glad that this point resonated with you, Ihor.

It really helps change the perception of making mistakes when you see leaders openly admitting them.
