A lot of us fear making mistakes, but mistakes are such an important part of the process in moving forward.

Today you'll hear why this is important, even for, and maybe even especially for, the most successful thinkers and doers.

This is Coaching for Leaders, Episode 121.

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential.

Greetings to you from Orange County, California.

This is Coaching for for leaders and I'm your

host Dave Stahoviac. This is a weekly coaching show to help us all be better

leaders through improved communication, human relations, and personal

productivity.

And to be able to do all of those areas well, we need to be in the right place mentally to be able to work through the challenges that we face and I don't know about you

But you know this this is the end of the year when I'm marrying this episode. It's the last episode of 2013, but it doesn't

matter when you're listening to it because I think a lot of us get caught up in the things

that we haven't worked well for us or that we haven't achieved that we wanted to

achieve and while the end of the year and the beginning of the new year is a

natural point when a lot of us think about moving forward and we think about our future goals, this is really

something that I think a lot of us think about and even struggle with at many points throughout

the year.

I know for me personally, the end of the year and I know for me personally the end of the year and the

beginning of the new year is a time of being excited and thinking about renewal

and setting new goals and getting ready for a new year and doing new things

and trying things different ways. But it also tends to be a time that I look back and

I think about my accomplishments but I always find myself actually thinking more about the things that I didn't do the past year that I really wanted to do.
