How to Discuss Failure and Growth

Talking about failure can be challenging, but it’s an important skill for job interviews and professional conversations. This video shows you how to turn failures into opportunities to showcase growth and strengths.

Here’s how to structure your response:
1. Be Honest: Share a real example of a time you failed. For example, not clarifying client expectations can lead to challenges.
2. Explain the Lesson Learned: Highlight what you took away from the experience, such as the importance of clear communication.
3. Show Growth: Share how you applied the lesson. For instance, prioritizing detailed discussions with clients to ensure alignment.
4. Give a Positive Example: End with a success story to show your improvement, like a project where the client praised your proactive approach.
5. Relate to the Role: Connect the experience to your strengths and how it makes you a better fit for the role.
