#Fail: When Failing Isn’t the End
Description:
How do you rebuild confidence, motivation and focus when faced with professional failure? How do you foster a culture where the fear of failing does not discourage innovation nor cloud ethical considerations? Join us in a candid conversation about navigating professional adversity, moving on from failures, and the realities of overcoming obstacles in the pursuit of professional success. By listening to the diverse insights shared, you’ll walk away with a variety of anecdotes on challenges and major upsets as well as lessons on the importance of knowing when to speak up, when to give up and how to maintain confidence and emerge from failure well-equipped to rebuild and refocus toward future success.
