Presenting The Other “F” Word Keynote

Celebrating success is easy. But leveraging failure—defining it, de-stigmatizing it, measuring its full value, and putting it to work in your organization—is hard. It can also be invaluable.

Authors John Danner and Mark Coopersmith have spent their careers helping leaders and organizations expand their repertoire of strategies to be more successful in high-stakes times. They understand that failure is a powerful catalyst and accelerator for innovation—if you know how to use it.

Get more of these insights by bringing John or Mark to your organization. Thanks to fresh case studies, a pragmatic approach, and their new Failure Value Cycle, every audience can walk away with a greater understanding of:

  • Failure's full value:its facts, facets, and power
  • Where failure shows up:surviving and thriving at every stage and in every type of organization
  • Limiting failure's damage and leveraging its opportunities:how to put the seven stages of the Failure Value Cycle to work
  • Creating the failure-savvy organization:the five powers that smart leaders unleash for greater resilience and employee engagement
