    Failing Forward: Turning Failure Into Growth

     

    Corporate Social Impact work is continuously evolving, and taking risks is part of the “job.” With each big risk, we unfortunately can find ourselves on the other end of success. Each setback ironically brings us closer to our goals whether we recognize it or not, as we often overlook the transformative power of how failure can enrich us.

    From a young age, we're conditioned to fear failure. We witnessed disappointment when we brought home a poor grade, endured ridicule from a teammate when we missed the game-winning jump shot, or felt the pressure when our first boss pointed out our mistakes. As we grow professionally, the stakes get larger and our risks can impact the bottom line. 

    It's in moments of loss and failure—those instances where we stumble—we gain invaluable lessons, far beyond what success may offer. The leaders we'll hear from have traversed varied paths across for-profit, nonprofit, and social good sectors, each with a unique narrative to share about shooting for the stars, and well…missing. Together, we'll explore their endeavors to bring failure out of the shadows that inevitably led to their successes, each embracing the concept of failing forward.

    Meet the Participants

    • Jay Cranman (Moderator) - President/CEO, Hands on Atlanta | Co-Founder/Organizer at FuckUp Nights Atlanta - moderator



      Expected Outcomes:

      As we step into 2024, each of us continues to navigate the process of learning from our individual failures, striving to achieve personal and professional triumphs however they manifest.

      Prior to the program, we encourage you to reflect about your own personal and professional journeys and how you overcame failure to set you on the path for success. Participants will walk away from this program with real life examples of how other corporate and  community leaders turned challenges into growth and opportunity. 

      This program is appropriate for corporate social responsibility (CSR), community relations, and nonprofit professionals of all skill levels.
      We are grateful to CVC member NCR Voyix for hosting us at their Global headquarters, 864 Spring Street, NW, Atlanta, GA 30308 (5th floor). All guests must check in with lobby security before proceeding to the 5th floor. Coffee and light refreshments provided.
