Finding the Good in Failing 💡

It is human to make mistakes. Very rarely at work or in personal life do we only fail once, whether it is a project, a presentation, or even just a conversation. Sometimes failure is painful, as inevitable as it is. So, how do we grapple with these mistakes? We start by taking a clear look at how we fail and then how to overcome these mistakes.

During this event, I will discuss my journey and reflections on failure as a user researcher and human. I will also share a framework I use to track my opportunities and progress. Together, we will learn how to celebrate failures, understand how we can support each other and ourselves, and gain new perspectives and tools to improve our processes
