BTAA - Mini Conference - Embrace the Journey
2023-02-15 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | Zoom
We all have different backgrounds with different ‘curves’ of progress; where we are now is how we worked with successes; seeing it mapped out on a graph brings it home and allows you to ‘speak to it’; it helps others to get to know you better and to listen to others is very helpful for your growth.

Date: Thursday, Feb 24, 3:00pm – 3:30pm
Goal of meeting is for us to show our vulnerabilities and get to know each other… and also, hopefully to be able to laugh at some of our biggest ‘snafus’ over the years. We can all learn from each other when we see that we have all had failure at some point.

We will have 30 minutes to discuss, learn and network.. short enough where you can ‘squeeze’ it into your busy day… but it will be meaningful, we promise!

Specifics:
3:00 – 3:05 Introduce topic

3:05 – 3:20 Breakout groups to discuss Normalizing Failure
3:20 – 3:30 Groups summarize their findings
