Participants at the Failure Management Training Session

On Tuesday, 23 April, 2024, Yashwanth K N, an extraordinary corporate trainer helped nurses and other staff members at St. Philomena's Hospital decipher the concept of 'Failure Management'.
He defined failure as a process in which expectations do not match with outcomes. He also stated that there is a possibility to embrace failure with creativity.
An aspect that he stressed upon is related to how becoming emotional in case a person experiences failure hampers rationality.

A few choice facets of the training sessions and a few memorable quotes:

• Characteristics of Failure:

• Failure is feedback
• Failure increases resilience
• Failure increases creativity

• The three A's in Understanding and Overcoming Failure:

• Acceptance
• Acknowledge
• Appreciate

• Importance of Pondering:

• Success = Party!
• Failure = Ponder (as opposed to becoming emotional and hence irrational)
• Great things are a consequence of pondering!

The session also had an activity that helped explain the importance of planning, strategising and implementing the plan just so that obstacles are easily addressed resulting in better outcomes.

A brief song and dance activity to promote the aspect of unity forming the backbone of a community did leave a lasting impact on the participants of this impressive session on Failure Management.

Thanks to Yashwanth, for all your valuable insights!!!
