About this Talk
Embracing Failure: Turning Setbacks into Stepping Stones
“Failure is not the end but an invitation to reflection and growth.” Inspired by thought-leader Adam Grant, this session explores how to debrief bad decisions constructively—to grow and change rather than blame and shame. Learn how to analyze yesterday’s mistakes, extract valuable lessons, and apply them to improve your future actions. It’s time to view setbacks as opportunities for learning and innovation.
