Teach Failure
“It is really tough and I struggle with it myself, and I also remind myself that to live in a creed of life is really to fail, and if you don’t fail then you’re really not taking big enough risk and at the same time it’s so uncomfortable and how do you get comfortable with the discomfort? How do you teach your students to feel comfortable with the discomfort?”
– Dr. Cyndi Burnett
Episode Transcription
During the conversation, Cyndi and Matt revisited advice shared by creativity researchers Ron Begehetto and Wendy Ross, who highlight the importance and challenges of teaching students how to fail, particularly when dealing with powerful emotions.
