Lessons Learned Worksheet: Sloppy Starts Part 4
Share

Failure is a guaranteed part of any worthwhile endeavor. Rather than discouraging us, failures can provide invaluable lessons that pave the path for our future success when processed constructively.

That’s why I created this Lessons Learned Worksheet - to help extract wisdom from setbacks on your journey. Reflection breeds resilience.

By working through this simple worksheet after a failure or challenge, you’ll:

  • Objectively examine what went wrong without judgment

  • Identify your emotions to address potential bias and balance your objectivity

  • Identify factors that contributed, from external events to your own decisions

  • Discover key learnings and insights from the experience

  • Determine who can provide perspective and support

  • Chart next steps forward with new understanding
