4. Overview of Session Explore our reactions to our successes and our mistakes, what stops us from learning from our experiences? Practise constructive debriefing. Six tips to help you learn from your experiences.

5. ‘ Success is never final and failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.’ Jules Ellinger

6. ‘ This thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.’ Mary Pickford What is your usual reaction when you make a mistake or something does not go so well? How do you feel? What do you think? How do you behave?

8. Why do we sometimes fail to learn from our experiences? We beat ourselves up over mistakes. We have an emotional reaction. The ‘tyranny of perfectionism’. Nature (our personality type) and nurture (our upbringing).

10. Learning From Our Successes What constitutes success to you? What is your response when you succeed? Do you celebrate, talk about, and enjoy it? Do you doubt, ignore or deny your success? Do you reflect on your successes in order to learn from and replicate them? ‘ The harder I practice, the luckier I seem to get.’ Arnold Palmer

11. Constructive Debriefing ‘ It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.’ Franklin D Roosevelt

12. Constructive Debriefing What happened? What went well? What are you pleased with – include redeeming situations that were going wrong! What would you do the same another time? What would you do differently? A different strategy or approach? What do you think someone else would have done in your shoes? Maybe think about a colleague, mentor.

13. Learning from your experiences ‘ What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first step to something better.’ Wendell Phillips ‘ Mistakes are their own instructors.’ Horace

14. Learning from your experiences Be self aware, manage and transform your emotions. Constructively debrief. Watch out for your inner critic kicking in (different from critical thinking). Listen to your fearful ‘inner child’. Talk to a wise and trusted colleague, friend, mentor or coach. Aim for ‘approximate perfection’.
