In many industries — healthcare, manufacturing, startups, you name it — we often celebrate innovation, grit, and rapid growth. But what gets less attention (and maybe deserves more) is the learning that happens along the way. Especially the kind that comes from missteps, stumbles, and good old-fashioned mistakes.
That's why I'm excited to be one of the speakers at the upcoming High Performance Founder Summit, a free virtual event for entrepreneurs, founders, and business owners who are looking to scale not just their operations, but their leadership, mindset, and systems.

In my session, I'll be talking about a topic that's close to my heart — and central to my book The Mistakes That Make Us: how leaders and organizations can learn from mistakes, rather than hide from them. We'll dig into what it takes to create a culture of improvement, not punishment — and how that connects to psychological safety, humility, and long-term success.
As someone who works with leaders across industries, I've seen how easy it is to fall into the trap of focusing on “high performance” as output only — revenue, growth, visibility. But high performance that lasts is built on reflection, learning, and continuous improvement.
The summit features over 20 experienced founders, advisors, and growth leaders. They'll be sharing practical systems and habits that support:
- Leading with clarity (not chaos)
- Scaling with intention (not just hustle)
- Building real market authority
- Protecting your energy and well-being
Each session includes tools you can apply immediately. And, yes — there will be some bonuses from the speakers.
If that sounds like something you or someone in your network could benefit from, I hope you'll join me.

And if you do attend my session, I'd love to hear what resonates with you — especially when it comes to learning, leading, and building better systems.
