Our approach to failure is broken. Fail fast, fail forward... We've almost forgotten failure is bad, even if it's unavoidable. In our professional and personal lives, how we approach failure is more important than how we handle success.
This session explores how we can be smarter about failure. The concepts of failing fast or forward are good concepts, but we are often losing sight of their original purpose as we push for earlier and faster failure. The true purpose of failure is to learn and when we plan for and react to failure with that in mind we are far more purposeful and effective.

For the past 11 years I've used agile and lean principles to build and guide teams across four different companies and over 20 different clients ranging from Wendy’s to Walmart. Industries include retail, health care, payment cards, B2B and B2C automotive, website development, digital marketing, and product development among others.
When I'm not working I'm spending time with my family, reading anything I can get my hands on, or playing a video game or two. You might also find me folding origami or practicing a card trick or two since both hobbies tend to impress my two wonderful daughters.
