We're back for season two with a big topic – failure.
Our guests share their experiences and the ways they’ve failed up in the past. We talk about coping with pressure and how to change your mindset so ‘rejection is redirection’, as well as sharing practical advice for coping with perceived failure in both the short and long term.
Thanks to Kathryn Eastwood (EY Foundation Director of Income and Employer Partnerships), Fairy Chi (A-level student, EY Foundation Programme Alumnus) and Paul Crossman (CEO of Genuine Solutions and Relove Technology) for your contributions.
