How did Erin Diehl's journey with failure begin?
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.
Yeah. So this is actually a keynote that I do called F words at work and there's no swearing Vince. Okay. There's no swearing spoiler alert. The F words are all about failure plus the frequency of failure equals the fundamentals of success. And truly the reason I even created this is because I was living a crash course myself in failure. I created this content in 2021 and it was coming off of the pandemic in 2020. I'm sure you can remember, I'm sure our listeners can remember where they were in March of 2020 because it was a global pandemic, right? No matter where you were in the world, You were affected by COVID-19. And so at that time, myself, I was going through a period of time, which I call the three P's.
What are the three P's of Erin's failure experience?
And I could also call them the three P's because it was the stinkiest period of my life. I had just delivered and had given birth to a miracle baby boy. And when I say miracle, then it's a miracle. There was a lot of science involved, if you will. My husband and I went through many years of infertility. We also had a shared genetic mutation. It was a really long battle to conceive our son. And he had just been born in July of 2019. And so I came back to work in December of 2019. And then at about two months of work, when T-double hockey broke loose and as a business started to pivot and pivot. So my first P was pivoting and we were pivoting so much. I was legit pivoting. taking everything that we had done in person, this completely in-person, completely face-to-face, completely human-to-human professional development company had to become completely virtual overnight in order to survive. And so on top of being a new mom and figuring that out, I was perpetually pivoting our business, which led to my second P, which is people-pleasing, which...
is a pattern I've had my whole life. I grew up moving around a lot. And so how I got people to like me was being a giver and a pleaser. And I also use comedy as some of the mechanisms I use to please people. I was the person that was the clown, right? That walked in and made you laugh. And in 2020, I really saw this pattern take over. And I was at the time giving to this newborn miracle who was my son. I was giving to my family and my mom who was recovering from a stroke, by the way. I was giving to my team who was careful for their jobs. I was giving to my peers who are small business owners who were closing their doors, laying off their staff. I was giving to my clients. and helping them navigate these contracts that we had with them and how to figure out our next steps. But I was truly giving and giving to everyone except myself. which led to the third P, which was pain. And I'm not talking about, ouch, I stubbed my toe type pain.
