Powerful questions to improve the quality of your personal and professional life. Why your brain is better than you think and an approach to using your whole brain to see the bigger picture The importance of a growth mindset Why people want false security and why we fear failure The importance of a coach who understands the power of a higher purpose and who can develop your growth mindset How you can make life more beautiful for you and others The power of journaling The mindset of the leader Key Takeaway “Learning from experience of course means learning from mistakes and it's another reason that businesses don't scale. The more you scale, the easier it is to have a public fail.
