F*ckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. Events across the globe get 3 or 4 people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional f*ckup/mistake. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, stories like these will all be told.
At this second event we wil have three fabulous speakers who are going to share their mistakes. No happy ending for any of these three stories!
Anour said that some mistakes provide a great learning experience, and eventually turn into a positive thing, others bring consequences that will impact you for the rest of your life. His story is one of living a full life within the boundaries of those consequences.
Amidst a promising engineering career, Laura’s world imploded due to persistent workplace sexism, resulting in burnout, a broken relationship, and leaving her job. Hear Laura’s untold narrative of fighting in a system not designed for her, a tale of personal failure and the failure of an industry, with no happy endings.
These will be real stories, from real people and there will be lessons we can all learn from.
Let’s change the narrative, let’s #ShareTheFailure and learn from it.
