Terry Rice, Entrepreneur Magazine (Presented by Verizon)

• Keynote Theatre

Failure is a part of life, but it doesn't have to define you. Unfortunately, most people see failure as a negative experience indicative of personal shortcomings. As a result, they try to avoid failure at all costs, leading to stagnation, unfulfillment, and lack of innovation. For businesses, this causes lost revenue and missed opportunities. For individuals, it prevents them from becoming the best version of themselves. But it doesn't have to be that way. By changing your perception of failure, you'll be able to recover quicker and start taking positive steps. In this talk, you’ll learn how to embrace your failures and use them as a learning experience that will help you survive and thrive during challenging times.
 
Key takeaways:
  • Recover more quickly from setbacks by quickly identifying the next positive, strategic actions you can take to build positive momentum. 
  • Learn how to leverage divergent and convergent thinking to spark creativity and innovation from within. 
  • Develop the ability to maintain a positive mindset, even in the face of drastic marketplace challenges, or personal setbacks. 
  • Build business resilience by growing, nurturing and monetizing your email list
This talk will be followed by a panel discussion with a focus on the digital skills and routines needed to future-proof your business
