Vanessa Mathews 
Founder & Chief Resilience Officer, Asfalis Advisors

Join Vanessa Mathews, founder and chief resilience officer of Asfalis Advisors, as she reframes failure as a catalyst for innovation.

Fear of failure can paralyze teams and stifle creativity. What if setbacks unlocked growth instead? This webinar challenges assumptions about professional missteps and shows how a 'fail-forward' mentality accelerates innovation.

Vanessa shares real-life stories from her own experience and that of other leaders to illustrate how failure can lead to innovation. Learn practical ways to build resilience, adapt quickly, and solve problems creatively in the face of setbacks.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Reframe failure as valuable data rather than career-limiting mistakes.
  • Build psychological safety within teams to encourage calculated risk-taking and promote a culture of innovation.
  • Develop rapid iteration skills that turn setbacks into strategic advantages.
  • Foster a culture of continuous learning and experimentation.
  • Strengthen personal and organizational resilience in the face of uncertainty.
