More mistakes? Yup. We’ve all made them. In this episode, a continuation of EP 070, we are going to hear from another Business of Design™ member on mistakes she’s made as well as how to own them, how to solve them and how to avoid them.

– take control of when you onboard clients
– to let yourself consider, what’s the worst that can happen, as a way to keep yourself calm
– to make an apology without a lot of fuss or drama
– always do a debrief at the summation of a project
– consider giving potential hires a task to complete as part of the interview process
