Description

Welcome to episode 10 of the Fail Forward podcast.    In this episode, I’m talking toDaniel Fitzhenry, Conservative Leader of Southampton City Council. Over the next forty minutes, you’ll hear first-hand Daniel’s journey so far, what’s gone wrong and how he bounced back to use his experience to be a driving force for change across the city of Southampton    During the interview, I’ve asked Daniel searching questions about what it means to be successful and how to recover when things go wrong. We examine the conditioning we are all exposed to that affect our thought patterns and the impact that happens when you challenge thosed conditioned beliefs.    Throughout this episode, Daniel is open about his successes, how a life in politics has meant having to overcome the fear of public scrutiny of his failures.    You’ll learn about his journey from his early years selling fruit and veg on his grandparents market stall to the ambitious political leader he is today.    Daniel’s story shines a light on the importance of understanding yourself, understanding what drives and motivates others, staying true to your values even if  things look impossible, and why asking for help is never a sign of weakness.    As the leader of Southampton City Council, Daniel is spearheading a campaign to “Get Southampton Moving” aiming high for the city that’s been his lifelong home and he shares how combining his political and business experiences enables him to lead a team of visonaries with the power to change the shape of Southampton.    Join me for a fascinating 40 minutes that will leave you with two key pieces of advice if you’re wondering how to move on when things have gone wrong and reassured that if you believe and commit before you know how, the rest will come.    If you enjoy listening to Daniel’s story, you can connect with him on LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. Alternatively you can contact him by email.     If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/

Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it Fail Forward is the weekly podcast hosted by entrepreneur and family man Henri Ghijben. In each episode you’ll hear from Henri and guests as they share real-life experiences of positives born from failure, reflections on the lessons learned from ‘losing it all, and what fuels Henri’s desire to help others overcome personal and business challenges in order to create the lives they want to live. Who is Henri Ghijben? Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri’s first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn’t until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth. Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it. Against the odds, Henri has rebuilt from rock bottom. He’s now on a mission to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did, to help those facing failure see that there is a way back and that by failing forward they can enjoy success again. Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
