| Session format: | Workshop [read about the different session types] | ||
| Abstract: | Hate being wrong? You are not alone - it's a dreadful feeling. One would have to be a little crazy to keep a daily record of the thoughts you firmly believed in yesterday and that turned out wrong today. Wouldn't one? Yet, if you rarely or never *consciously* make mistakes, how do you think you can possibly improve? This impertinent and playful workshop is an invitation to transform your everyday mistakes into a useful game of continuous improvement. There will be exercises, just enough theory to get by, and maybe some soul-searching. | ||
