Flip Side of Failing Resources

How to Recognize and Leverage Greatness in Life & Work

Resource Summary

BONUS RESOURCES HERE! Do you want to flip failure and build greater resilience? We've got you covered.

Do you want to bravely, boldly, unapologetically cast your net into the depths of life, work, and academics to see what is possible? After all, the more times you cast the net, the more fish you catch. What if it comes up empty? That can hold us back. In fact, it’s a very human thing: behavioral economists tell us loss aversion is so strong, we’d rather not lose something than gain something more.  

So, it would seem, you’re swimming against the tide. We can help.  

The first trick: become more failure resilient. 

In the book Flip Side of Failing: How to Recognize and Leverage Greatness in Work and Life, Sarah McVanel shares the evidence of what successful, revered, admired people do to swim toward failure and to the success that results from it. You, too, can surpass your limits and catch every opportunity in your path.  

Whether you grab a copy of the book, or you’re here for the juicy tools that go with it, get ready to move through and beyond hurdles, challenges, and even major failures by downloading and utilizing the juicy resources we have for you. Enjoy (yes, enjoy) these practical strategies to unconditionally recognize the funny, the serious, the sad, and the hopeful in all failures.  

Take the bold leaps that exponentially drive your pride, progress, and passion. Your failures are actually finger posts of true success.

Sarah McVanel

True acceptance is believing people are worthy before they’ve earned it. Imagine a workplace that extends acknowledgement and appreciation to its employees before they even start.

I’m a recognition expert, professional speaker, coach, author, recovering perfectionist, and movement maker, specifically F.R.O.G. Forever Recognize Others’ GreatnessTM. With 25+ of experience, I invigorate companies to see their people as exceptional so that, together, they can create a scrumptious, thriving culture where everyone belongs. 

Here’s the fact: recognition is the single, most effective, and cost-efficient way that organizations can decrease burnout, sick time, change fatigue, and hiring costs. Their reward? Increased employee retention, safety, innovation, and customer satisfaction… as a starting point. What organization doesn’t need this in this competitive market with a talent shortage?

And it gets better. When you practice this in all areas of life, especially at home, it turns even the most difficult challenges and greatest tensions into opportunities to connect, commit, heal, and belong.
