Dattner Group's Lunchtime Leadership Session - Failing Forward: Leadership Lessons from Our Biggest Mistakes

Failing Forward: Leadership Lessons from Our Biggest Mistakes

As the year draws to a close, we’re not gathering to trade polished success stories. Instead, we’re doing something far more honest (and, let’s face it, more fun): sharing the stuff-ups that taught us the most.

Every leader has had those moments - the project that went sideways, the well-intentioned decision that created unintended chaos, the fork in the road where we chose the 'wrong' path. These moments are uncomfortable, sometimes hilarious, and always full of lessons.

In this light-hearted end-of-year session, we’ll reflect on:

• Why mistakes are an underrated teacher in leadership.

• How to put more space between stimulus and response, so we can be less reactive and more intentional.

• Practical ways to turn “oops” moments into culture-building opportunities.

Join us for stories, laughter, and insights as we close out 2025 together. You’ll leave with renewed perspective, a few practical tools, and maybe even a little more kindness for your perfectly imperfect self.
