Failure Stories/ When Things Go Wrong

Golf is not a game of good shots. It’s a game of bad shots’ – Ben Hogan. For those that play golf, they will be able to relate to this quote 🙂  Those who don’t play but are entrepreneurs / wannapreneurs understand that building a business, similar to golf, is a series of failures.
In this workshop, we will share some f&$k ups, learn from one another, and create some strategies to extract the positives from setbacks by developing strength in resilience, persistence, and knowing when to try something new.
