By focusing your energy on identifying what you can learn from failures, rather than on feeling bad about them, you might just transform your working life. But how do you switch into this new, shame-free mindset? Let’s talk about Embracing Failure!

If you’ve never been, Meaning Circles are virtual sessions guided by a host where we reflect on big questions related to meaningful work. Spoiler: We don’t have all the answers! What we offer is a facilitated space to share, reflect, and learn as a group. It’s incredible what insights we can uncover this way.

This time, we’ll be unpacking this question: What if you could cultivate a mindset that views failure not as an endpoint, but as an opportunity for reflection, learning, and growth? After all, any innovation or meaningful change will require some experimentation, trial and error, and educated guesses. Instead of failing, let’s call it exploring.

Many of us have been trained, from an early age, to fear and avoid failure. This is your opportunity to reconsider your relationship with failure--and even to embrace it as a natural part of the learning process.

What makes a Meaning Circle different from most other meetings is that you are free to share during the reflection without commentary or debate from others. It's remarkable what we can learn about ourselves through self-reflection and listening deeply to the reflections of others. Come find out for yourself!

Join host Dale on Wednesday, April 24th at 12pm EST for a stimulating session!

ABOUT MEANING CIRCLES

Meaning Circles are virtual, one‑hour sessions where we invite you to reflect on big questions related to the world of work.

What to expect:

• A complimentary, 60-minute session via Zoom
• No prep is required, your host takes care of the format
• A judgment-free space
• To learn and be inspired by others!

At each Circle, a host provides the structure and poses the reflection question, so it’s easy to engage. With no discussion or advice-giving, Circles provide space for participants to share, listen, and reflect more deeply on powerful questions related to workplace wellbeing.

Here’s what others are saying:

“I think hearing others share caused me to look at my own experiences and find similarities and differences that illuminated something I had overlooked (maybe deliberately). It was a big surprise to me that listening to others helps them and me at the same time.” – Past participant

Meaning Circles are offered by MeaningSphere, a start-up company dedicated to meaningful work. Find out more at meaningsphere.com.
