The Joy of Being Wrong
Wed, 9th – 15:50
We spend a huge amount of time at work thinking — but how much time do we spend rethinking? Confident teams get things catastrophically wrong more often than we'd like to admit, and Emma Bostian has the case studies to prove it. She digs into what happens when assumptions go unchallenged for too long, and why the ability to say "I was wrong" might be the most underrated leadership skill there is.
Expect a talk that's equal parts myth-busting and mindset-shift, swapping rigid "best practices" for genuine curiosity. If you've ever doubled down on a bad call just to avoid admitting you were wrong, this one's for you.
