| "OOPS" |
|
The town of Benidorm in Alicante, Spain has received some attention in the headlines. What will be Europe's tallest residential skyscraper is in the final stages of construction. However it was just realized this 47 story building has one basic flaw, there are only elevator shafts for the first 20 stories of the building. The architects made a mistake. By comparison, our mistakes look minimal.

REFLECT
|
|
Reflect on the moments in your life and/or career that have been an "oops" for you and how you handled it. If it was a few years ago, have you learned new techniques or tools to handle those "oops" moments differently? All humans make mistakes. It's what we do with those mistakes that make it a learning experience. There may be several "oops" moments along the pathway of success.
