Breakout sessions

conxhub-breakout

4. Embracing Failure is essential to success!

conXhub presents... not your normal breakout session. 3 successful professionals will share their journeys to success... journeys absolutely littered with bad decisions, financial disasters, political upheaval and other mishaps along the way.
Nick Muir, Victor Horcasitas, Mark Trowbridge & Lisa Palmer

Our point is to introduce the acceptance of of failure. Rather than be viewed as shameful or embarrassing, it is instead a necessary experience that often provides the keys to success.

It will be done in a relaxed environment to enable laughter and learning, leaving all-comers with a positive attitude towards the difficult challenges we and our fellow professionals have to face.

Our session format will be:

  • 4 x speakers sharing stories of professional failure
  • Each speaker will have 7 mins to share their story and lessons learned
  • Audience has a few mins to ask some questions

Aims: 

  • To provide an innovative and easy way of discussion business failure
  • Showing failure as an opportunity for learning
  • Banish the idea of difficult conversation
  • Mistakes should not carry stigma
  • Introducing the idea that talking about failure is crucial

Content:

  • Stories of business mistakes and epic fails told with humour and empathy

Outcomes:

  • Introduce a culture of success through failure
  • Demonstrate that setbacks will help you grow
  • Mistakes will be celebrated just like many others celebrate success
  • Encourage ‘no judgement’ work environments to examine things that led to errors
