Lee Deaner: The Transcript
About: Lee Deaner’s Philosophy: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill Learning is the key to life. We have to continue to learn to improve on our successes and grow in order to continue to be successful. Secondly “…failure is not fatal…”, all too often we do not have the courage to take accountability for our failures and learn from them so we do not repeat them. Everyone has failures, it is how you handle them that is most important. The knowledge gained from these failures is what leads to innovation, and innovation leads to success. Our goal at Leading Edge Training Solutions is to use the knowledge we gained from the hurdles, speed bumps, and road blocks we encountered to lead you down a path that avoids them, so you can achieve success faster than we did.
