Failures are normal since everyone fails at a certain point. But how can we overcome these failures? What skills do we need to acquire, and what strategies do we need to take to thrive in these challenging times? In this podcast episode, Jaz Ampaw-Farr shares how to reframe failures and how we can gain confidence and resilience.
Jaz is a ‘resilience ninja, an international speaker, coach, and author. She is hailed in the US as the ‘British Oprah.’ She has travelled the world advising governments and educators and helping tens of thousands of people with her bespoke leadership development programs, training courses, and motivational speeches.
She is passionate about anything that has to do with resilience, positive disruption, and a human-first approach.
The episode started with Jaz’s personal journey, about her being an author and speaker. Jaz defines self-confidence as an internal narrative and that we have a sense of control that allows us to live life as we want it. She explains it by saying that instead of locking yourselves up with the words, “I am not good enough” replace them with “I am enough, and people like me make decisions like this“.
Jaz emphasized the value of resilience in dealing with downfalls and how it impacts confidence.
She advises that for us to rebrand failure to boost our confidence, we need to have the right mindset, like having a conversation with ourselves and thinking about how to respond in those situations. Also, Jaz suggested using the three Ms (mentor, mates, and mindset) as a strategy when willing to make a change.
Failures are part of life, and they can still provide invaluable experience for us by learning through them. The key to overcoming these circumstances is to learn to be resilient. After you acknowledge the situation and start to move forward and learn through it, you’ll find yourself more confident.
