Ever had a time when things simply refused to go t Ever had a time when things simply refused to go to plan? When everything seems to conspire against you. We can become frustrated or depressed, assuming we have failed. But sometimes that 'failure' or mistakes can afford us the greatest benefits. A beautiful oops! Fleming discovered penicillin from a discarded Petri dish; the humble potato chip (crisps) was 'invented' in a fit of pique when a customer told a chef the potatoes were too chunky in a meal; and the Post-It note was created entirely by the glue not being strong enough during a piece of research. All wonderful strokes of luck rising from the ashes of error and frustration. It's an age-old saying but we really do learn from our mistakes. We can review, refocus and reset the way we work. When reviewing a project that is coming to an end - I always like to take a moment and discuss with my team - What went wrong? What went right? What can we do differently? How can we work smarter? In our world, when we need an alternative design because the first one doesn't work, we often find ourselves with an even better solution than the original. This model shuld be adapted within our business processes as well. When we adapt the way we work due to circumstances at that time, we can discover strategies that are more efficient and offer better outcomes - and we can end up adopting these new approaches in the future. So embrace the mistakes. Turn what could potentially be a negative experience can sometimes turn into a positive outcome. Please share any moments of luck you have had that have unexpectedly arisen from your work. I'd love to hear those Eureka moments! . . . . . #MetierRendezvous #meet_share_prosper #girlboss #CommunityoverCompetition #focus #payitforward #MakeitHappen #Empower #Doer #helpothers #peersupportgroup #powerwithin #interiorlover #interiorlove #londoninteriordesigner #interiorinspiration #interior4all #interior2you #interiorsandhome #nestandthrive #aspire #inspire #communityovercompetition💜 #entrepreneurjourney #eureka #encouragement #faith #selflove #motivation #bethechangeyouwanttosee

At face value, this quote seems really obvious, bu At face value, this quote seems really obvious, but in the world of interior design where tastes and fashions seem to constantly change, it is worth remembering. We are all mindful of keeping an eye on 'what's in' and 'what's out', and it is important to stay relevant. But equally it is important that we don't 'shape-shift' so much when swimming with the current that we lose the very essence of who we are, and what our design work means to evoke. That we get swept away by the tide of style over substance. Principles are important and some more so than others, and our principles are what make us special and different from someone else. We should not compromise ourselves and our design work in order to perhaps be perceived as 'fitting in' with the latest fad, movement or group. It can be hard not to be swayed by others' opinions or want to be part of the 'in-crowd', but we should have the courage of our convictions and do what we know feels right - to us - be true to ourselves. If that means we stand out - at least we stand for something - and for that we will be respected. . . . . . #MetierRendezvous #meet_share_prosper #girlboss #CommunityoverCompetition #focus #payitforward #MakeitHappen #ohwow #Empower #Doer #helpothers #peersupportgroup #powerwithin #interiorlover #interiorlove #londoninteriordesigner #interiorinspiration #interior4all #interior2you #interiorsandhome #nestandthrive #aspire #inspire #communityovercompetition💜 #entrepreneurjourney #ukinteriors #ukinteriordesigners
