The Value of Losing

Conversation - B1-B2 | Intermediate Level

Description

In this lesson, the learners will reflect on their personal and professional experiences with losing and failure. They will discuss how setbacks shaped their motivation, how to let go of what doesn’t work, and how slow progress can still lead to growth.
