What we learn from when things to wrong is valuable knowledge and experience.
It’s useful insight and it’s something you can pass on.
But not only that, how you handle things that don’t go to plan is a great measure of who you are. It shows that you are adaptable and a problem solver.
Being human

It can make you more relatable and helps to invite engagement – ‘that happened to me too’, ‘I also struggled with that’.
