Turn mistakes into resilience in a workshop by Prof. Josef Hynek. Open to our staff only.

We invite our students, researchers and admin staff to a unique workshop The Art of Failure led by Prof. Josef Hynek. It will take place on Thursday, February 27 from 9:00 till 12:00 including a refreshments break in our seminar room (KN:E-205).

Register via this form until February 14. Note that the capacity is limited. We’ll notify you if your spot is confirmed or if you’re placed on the waitlist. In case of large interest, we will organize another workshop in the near future.

About the workshop

Never messed up? Never failed at something? That's strange, because none of us can avoid failures, mistakes, and errors. Failure usually brings sadness, regret, suppresses initiative, and kills creativity. However, if we can accept, tolerate, and work with failure, and if possible, even learn from it, we will rid ourselves of fear, new opportunities will open up, and our thinking will become more positive. Get inspired by the co-author of the book The Art of Failure, open up to your mistakes, and become more resilient.
