EDG2508. Failing is Not a Failure

A panel with stories of traditional failure that are positives. Examples include: quitting a job, getting fired, losing a client, big changes where everyone does not come along, starting a business & closing

We've been conditioned to not fail, and lots of things get put in the "fail" bucket that don't belong there. We will talk about how these "failures" were actually positives - in the sense that quitting a job is the right thing to do (vs there was a silver lining down the road)

The panelists can be made of other speakers who are already in attendance. I'm sure there will be people I know among that group who would be happy to share how their "failures" were really successes

Learning Objectives:

• Identify traditional definitions of failure
• Distinguish your actions as successes versus failures
