Failure killed my ego

Failure gets a terrible reputation.

We hide it, avoid it, and beat ourselves up over it.

And in doing so, we K*ll growth before it’s even had a chance.

Failure Killed My Ego is a raw, honest and practical session that flips the narrative on failure and shows you how the people who grow fastest don’t avoid it, they use it.

You’ll hear a career story that went spectacularly wrong (mine), not as a sob story, but as proof that the moments we’d rather erase are often the ones that shape everything that follows.

We will unpack the psychology of failure at work and expose how avoidance, perfectionism, and ego are shaping behaviour every day. It ends with three strategic levers organisations can pull to break the cycle and subsequently unlock braver thinking, faster learning, and real progress.

This isn’t motivational hype or “just be resilient” nonsense.

Expect honesty, challenge and a few uncomfortable truths.

And a perspective shift that changes how you show up when the pressure’s on.

Because failure doesn’t K*ll organisations.

Avoiding it does.

This unmissable event is brought you to by Deborah Watson of Lexia, as part of her brand new series 'voices & visionaries'.
