The Story You Tell About Failure Is A Lie [AI Prompt]
Everyone around you knows your relationship with failure better than you do. This prompt finally shows you what they see.
Ask any leader how they handle failure and you’ll probably get some version of the same cliche:
“Every failure is a learning opportunity”
”We celebrate failure here”
”You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”
After working with hundreds of leaders, I can honestly say, with confidence: most of that is bullshit.
If you took everyone at their word, every leader has a healthy relationship with failure.
They haven’t.
Because when something actually goes wrong, the real version of people’s relationship with failure shows up. And it’s rarely as quaint as they described.
Some people suddenly go quiet, or mentally disappear.
Other get defensive immediately, or play the victim - blaming everybody but themselves.
The story you tell about how you handle failure is one of the most deeply wired patterns you have. And you probably haven’t confronted it directly.
In fact, everybody around you knows your relationship with failure - and they know it better than you.
Most AI prompts ask you questions. This one builds a profile of your failure pattern - what you do, what it’s protecting you from and what it’s costing you.
You may want to be sitting down for the response.
