Event Overview
Failure, mistakes, set-backs — no matter what we call it, failure is something we all experience and can be difficult to face. A growth mindset, which focuses on learning from your experiences, can be helpful when navigating failure. Join us to explore a design-thinking assessment tool to reflect on things that did not go as planned, capture lessons learned, and consider practical steps to implement those learnings.
Session Outcomes:
- Log and categorize failures
- Identify growth insights
- Build a habit of converting failures to growth
