Let's Talk: Building Resilience Around Making Mistakes
Most of us have an aversion to making mistakes, and we will do anything to avoid making them.
We will even go so far as to neglect important situations that need immediate attention at the expense of our mental and physical health, in fear of doing something wrong. And in turn not learning and growing.
Join us Tuesday July 21st at Lilac Place to discuss how to develop some resiliency around making mistakes with integrity.
This facilitated discussion will start at 5:30pm
