How I Made Office Managing Partner: 'Mistakes and Setbacks Are Valuable Learning Experiences,' Says Kristen Behrens of Dilworth Paxson
“I’d remind myself that mistakes and setbacks are valuable learning experiences, not something to be avoided. Early in my career, I often felt the pressure to be perfect, fearing that any misstep could derail my progress. But now I understand that the most growth happens in those moments of struggle and failure. We develop resilience, adaptability, and a deeper understanding of our authentic selves through facing difficulties and learning from them.”
