1 BIG IDEA
Setbacks don’t sideline real leaders—they shape them. If you want results that actually last, resilience isn’t optional—it’s the edge.

4 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

• Stop glossing over failure—name it, and let it teach you.
• Audit your last flop: What part of you was missing from that moment?
• Reconnect with your Core Values before you “try again.”
• Reset with one move that honors who you are—not what they expect.

3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

• What’s one setback I’ve been avoiding—and what’s it still trying to tell me?
• Did I lead with integrity in that moment, or just survive it?
• Where have I already proven I’m resilient—and how can I build from there?
