Turning toward failure

Turning failure into an opportunity is a mindset shift

We all face challenges in life, but that doesn’t mean you have to let them hold you back. In fact, with the right mentality and support from your wolfpack, you can use these obstacles to help you grow, evolve, and succeed in work and life. On this episode, Deloitte chief well-being officer Jen Fisher discusses overcoming failures with retired soccer player Abby Wambach, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA Women's World Cup champion.

I think that the word ‘failure’ has to be reclaimed. I think our whole lives we are trying to avoid it like a plague. Every single person on the planet has failed, every single successful person on the planet has failed and made something of it.

–Abby Wambach
