CLASS DESCRIPTION

Previously titled: F^#*ed Up! Here’s What I Learned and How I Apologized

This is a workshop about failure and the ways we’ve failed, lessons we’ve learned, and ways we’ve evolved to ensure we don’t have to learn the same lesson twice, or thrice! So often the conversations about professional development or community collaborations are devoid of how we fail and apologize, yet all of us have this experience. Goals include discussing these realities and get some healing started! Participants will leave having worked on an apology they need to give.

Course Outcomes

At the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

  1. Identify at least two coping strategies when experiencing professional failure
  2. Examine professional failure as a tool for learning
  3. Explain how to structure an apology
