Thankful for Mistakes Made: Real Stories, Real Lessons

Everyone has a mistake they wish they could take back. The hire that didn’t work out. The price you set way too low. The marketing that went nowhere. The email you wish you could unsend.

Those stories rarely get told, so a lot of us end up making the same mistakes.

Not this month. Three local small business leaders are going to share what went wrong, what it cost them, and what they learned. They’ll talk about communication, money, marketing, customer service, and branding, and you’ll leave with a few ideas to keep those same mistakes out of your own work.

We’ll start the morning with a fun icebreaker unlike any you’ve done before, so you can meet new people without the awkward small talk. After the panel, we’ll move into Table Talk. You’ll swap stories with the friendly folks at your table, and you’ll find out you’re not the only one who’s been there. You’ll walk away with ideas you can use as soon as you’re back at work.

You belong at this month’s Gather & Grow. Come ready to laugh and share what you’ve learned. Hearing about someone else’s mistakes is a lot more fun than making your own.

Whether you own the business or help keep it going, you’ll walk out with better ideas, a few good laughs, and great connections.
