Taming Failure: “My downfall became a learning period.”
updated the 15 October 2015 à 01:35Emmanuelle Parache, 46, founder of Biocenys, says that the failure of her first two companies has taught her well.
“After my dismissal from a real estate group where I was director of communications, I launched two companies. The first, which lasted two years, confirmed to me that I had a taste for entrepreneurship. The second allowed me to find an industry that matched my aspirations: sustainable development.
I never felt these two experiences as something negative or as failures of which I was ashamed. Those five years were, on the contrary, a real learning period. I could test and confront myself to reality. Today, I think I’m more open to others, more attentive to the world around me. And my third company, a corporation helping companies to act in favour of biodiversity, is doing well. “
