The Art of Failing


The opposite of failure is not success but stagnation. By avoiding failure, we deprive ourselves of the experimentation that is crucial to personal and professional growth. In this creative and challenging seminar, we will explore the cultural assumptions and thought processes that prevent us from taking full advantage of our failures. We will identify distinct forms of failure and learn techniques to leverage knowledge and skills from these experiences. More importantly we will set the stage for the essentialpractice of incorporating failure as a necessary and crucial step to eventual success.
