Trial, Error, Repeat

Conversation - B1-B2 | Intermediate Level

Description

What if failing wasn’t something to fear but something to learn from?
In this session, we’ll explore how trial and error can be one of the most powerful learning tools in life, work, and language learning.

Using insights from Amy Edmondson’s Big Think+ talk, we will:
- Understand why failure is necessary for innovation
- Learn to talk about their mistakes without shame
- Discuss personal experiences with setbacks and growth
- Explore how different types of failure impact learning

By the end of the session, we will be more open to taking risks, making mistakes, and embracing the messy path toward improvement.
