  What Our Goals Require Most is the Bravery to Fail

   

  What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Chasing Failure is all about having a vision for a dream, a goal, a mission, and knowing that the road will be paved with failure, but still proceeding with conviction and passion. This is what sets those who succeed beyond measure, from those who simply exist. The fear of failure will keep you inside a box, stall innovation, and make sure you hesitate anytime you even think about taking a risk that could help you achieve goals beyond your wildest dreams. As leadership expert and our Keynote Speaker Ryan Leak shares, you don't actually have to get over the fear. Just do it scared and take really good notes. 

   

  When you're Chasing Failure, you're either going to win or you're going to learn. Hopefully, both will happen. Join us on Friday of AAPD 2024 at the Opening Ceremony as Ryan shares the blueprint for success by giving you an approach to see what the predictable failures might be, so you can circumvent those more easily, or deal with them more effectively when they arise.
