The Other F Word: Opening Conversations Around Failure
Date and Time
Location
In-person, U of G Guelph campus
Details
Failure is experienced by everyone, but is often seen as "taboo".
In this interactive workshop, we will open the conversation around failure and mistakes, discussing how we define failure, how failure is experienced, as well as some tangible strategies to help manage our experiences with failure. There will be opportunities to share experiences (for those who feel up to it) and time to reflect. Participants will walk away with strategies on how to have failure conversations in their own lives.
