Michael is an innovation consultant; he reminds us about Michael Jordan’s famous quote, showing that it’s not our mistakes that define us, but how we pick ourselves up and move on:
 

 

‘I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career.
I’ve lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life.

And that is why I succeed.’

 

Michael Jordan -arguably the world’s greatest basketball player
