F.A.I.L Forward: First Attempt in Learning In-Person
A 3-hour interactive workshop for library staff
What if failure wasn’t something to avoid—but something to celebrate?
Join us for a fun and thought-provoking session where we flip the script on failure and discover how mistakes can be our greatest teachers.
What to Expect
Through interactive games, storytelling, and group challenges, you’ll:
- Swap real-life “fail” stories.
- Practice turning missteps into momentum.
- Experiment with new ideas in a supportive, low-stakes “lab.”
- Create a personal pledge to try something new—even if it might flop.
Why Attend?
Failure is part of growth, and growth is part of great service. This workshop will leave you with practical strategies to reframe setbacks, build resilience, and foster a workplace culture that isn’t afraid to take risks.
