Kari Yuers, Jay Ono, and Janice Rice on the jobs that prep you for failure, idea-generating, and handling tough scenarios. Kari Yuers, president and CEO, Kryton International Inc. “Working in the lab inventing new products was not only fun; it was rewarding to see your new inventions adopted by customers as their new favourite solution or tool. If there’s a learnt skill in R&D or product development, it’s getting used to failing.” Jay Ono, director, Vancouver Theatre Sports League

“Improviser. Nothing gets the adrenalin pumping like standing in front of a sold-out crowd when you haven’t got a clue what’s going to happen. There’s no such thing as a bad idea. When it works, the audience is in the palm of your hands; when it doesn’t work, you let it go and do it again. ”
“Every employee should work on reception for a week. Talk about learning how to multitask! They will get a healthy dose of how to handle tough client interactions as well as garner insights into the pulse of client satisfaction. Of course, the perk is finding out where everything is kept.”
