Upcoming Leadership Empowerment Programs

Part 1:

Permission to Fail: Reframing Risk Taking from Career Services & Employer Perspectives

Thursday, January 29, 2026

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Career development champions growth mindsets and innovation, yet, how often do we create genuine space for failure within our own organizations and professional practices? From university career centers piloting new programs to employers experimenting with novel talent strategies, fear of failure can stifle the innovation our work demands.

This webinar challenges the disconnect between what we often teach students and alumni about resilience and what we practice in our professional environments. Join us for a candid conversation examining how career services professionals, employers, and higher education leaders can model healthy risk-taking, normalize setbacks, and build cultures where diving in is valued over playing it safe.
