Join inspirational speaker Elizabeth Day for an honest and uplifting fireside conversation.
How do chefs perfect dishes or musicians find their sound? By getting things wrong first. Yet we’re still taught to see failure as a weakness, rather than one of life’s most powerful tools for growth.
Elizabeth Day will be talking vulnerability, resilience, and turning setbacks into catalysts for constructive change — whether in elite sport, business, relationships, or everyday life.
Drawing on personal experience and powerful insights, this transformative session will explore how embracing failure can instead build confidence, break self-limiting beliefs, and help us focus on what truly matters.
Host: Jamil Qureshi
