Amongst the inspirational insights was Elizabeth's five principles of failure, which can be viewed in full on Walpole's IGTV channel, below.
1. Failure ‘just is’
2. You exist separately from your thoughts
3. Failure can be data acquisition
4. Everyone feels they failed at their twenties
5. Paradoxically it’s when we’re willing to be at our most vulnerable
