What if failure isn't the opposite of success but the very path to it?
This Saturday, we're not just reading a book —
We're challenging a mindset.
Join us for a thought-provoking Masterclass as we dive into Dr Manu Kapur's groundbreaking work:
๐ Productive Failure: Unlocking Deeper Learning Through the Science of Failing
Whether you're an educator, a leader, or a lifelong learner —
This session will shift how you approach challenges, growth, and learning.
Let's move from fearing failure to harnessing it.
๐ฌ We're ready to fail better.
Are you?
