Failure Targets: Success through Practiced Failure, Michel Taal
Channel: TEDxAmsterdam
Date: 18/11/2015

A question that has always puzzled Michel Taal is: How much potential would be unleashed if people weren’t so afraid to fail?

“Do you ever regret something you ended up not doing; like talking to the fascinating person next to you? I used to. All the time!

12 years ago I decided to ‘fix’ my risk aversion. However, just as you cannot decide to be fit, you cannot decide to be fearless. Risk appetite is like a muscle you need to train. Today, I’d like to share my own risk appetite exercise regime: ‘failure targets’ – or how controlled repeated failure can fuel success.”
