If we take the time to understand our core values, it not only helps us find better alignment with a company or a team, but also enables us to navigate the environment more strategically we can identify where things resonate and where they don't, which teams and leaders share a similar outlook, and how to bridge gaps when values diverge.
This awareness gives us clarity on how to behave, communicate, and even set boundaries, thereby reducing stress and improving fulfillment. Wouldn't you agree?
Just now, Robert shared with us what values really mean, why they matter for leading fulfilling careers and lives, and why figuring out our values can be challenging. In part two, we'll explore how to make our values more visible and sustainable in a world that is constantly changing and noisy. Come back and join us tomorrow.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to our show, Chief Change Officer. I'm Vince Chan, your ambitious human host. Our show is a modernist humility for change progressives in organizational and human transformation from around the world. Today's guest is Erin Deal, founder and CEO of Improved, a company that uses improv to help teams grow and thrive. Like me, she's also a top podcast host.
From a young age, Erin dreamed of becoming a talk show host. Why did she choose that path? And how did her journey lead her to combine improv and business? I told Erin, you are in the business of joy. But beyond joy, we also talked about failure. Erin calls herself a failfluencer. a blend of failure and influence.
This two-part series dives into her unique approach to joy, failure, growth, and learning. No more waiting. Let's get started. I understand one of your key workshops focuses on failure, and you even coined the term Belfluencers, a blend of failure and influencers. I'd love to dive into this topic, but from a personal perspective, could you share your own experiences with failure?
Not so much the workshops you facilitate or the lessons you teach, but your personal journey. How you've dealt with, navigated, and grown from failure over time. If you like, feel free to share specific stories and give us an overview of your journey with failure. Either way works.
I haven't read your book yet, but failure as a concept resonates deeply. Just before this, I was interviewing another guest and we talked about transitions, not just career changes, but life changing events. In her case, two years ago, she survived a severe car accident that left her paralyzed.
She shared how she endured the physical and mental pain, learned to walk again, rebuilt her coaching business, and even started a podcast within just two years. Coincidentally, your experiences also highlight how resilience and failure intertwine. I call this lifting human intelligence. That is the ability to reflect deeply on who we are and transform setbacks into meaningful insights.
And while these three words like fill, learn, grow may sound simple on the surface. Developing that level of clarity through real experience is far from easy. What stands out is not just the lesson itself, but the process of sustaining pain, making sense of it, and transforming it into a systematic approach others can understand and apply.
The pain itself is real and unfortunate, but it often opens doors to growth. As I told my other guest, failure, if managed well, can become one of the greatest opportunities for transformation. Would you agree?
I think that's a great way to wipe things up. I always discourage hard selling on the show. But this isn't about that. It's about sharing the lessons you've distilled from your real, sometimes painful, life experiences. Lessons that listeners can take away and apply right now. So as a closing thought, could you share a method or approach from your work that anyone can try?
Something practical, educational, not just inspirational, that could help listeners facing their own dilemmas, whether they're in career transition, dealing with personal challenges, or simply feeling stuck. What's one step or exercise they could use to figure themselves out and take that first step forward?
I would say definitely over 50. So should be between 80 to 90%.
I can tell you exactly why I connected with that question, because I experienced it myself. Honestly, I think 80-90% of my thoughts on any given day being negative. It's just the way our minds work sometimes, especially when uncertainty is evolved. When we think about future, we tend to naturally default to worst-case scenarios, even when, more often than not,
things turn out far less catastrophic than we imagined. Yet, those negative thoughts can feel overwhelming, very loud, disruptive, and hard to ignore. Personally, I have to deal with that noise every single day. I hear it, but I remind myself to focus, to move forward despite the chatter. That's why I really value your advice.
It's practical and it's something I know I can apply right away to keep that noise in check.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I released two episodes with a guest who wrote a book called Generosity Wins. He's a seasoned CEO who talks about how actions and mindset of generosity not only enrich others, but also create greater success in life and career.
One powerful idea he shared was how a single generous action creates a ripple effect, encouraging others to replicate it, and in turn, making the world a little better. Of course, we can't measure the full impact. There's no way to track every ripple, but the concept is the same as what you were saying. When we experience joy or positivity in our lives, we have the chance to pass it on.
