Pivot Through Pain: Bouncing Back from Failure
Presented by El Pomar Institute for Innovation and Commercialization (EPIIC)
Wednesday, August 26th | 10:30 AM–12:00 PM
Hosted at Ent Center for the Arts at UCCS
Failure is part of every entrepreneurial journey, but too often, we treat it like something to hide instead of something to learn from.
Join us for an interactive workshop designed to help founders, entrepreneurs, and innovators rethink what failure really means and turn setbacks into a powerful tool for growth.
Together, we'll explore how redefining failure and success can change the way we approach challenges, make decisions, and build resilient businesses.
During this hands-on session, you'll:
💭 Explore how we define failure—and why that definition matters
🎯 Reframe failure and success through the lens of intentional goals and outcomes
✍️ Reflect on past setbacks to uncover lessons and opportunities for growth
🤝 Participate in guided small-group conversations with fellow entrepreneurs
🔮 Create a personal "failure forecast" to identify a future challenge and one action you can take today to change the outcome
Whether you've experienced a recent setback, are navigating uncertainty, or simply want to become a more resilient founder and leader, you'll leave with practical insights, fresh perspective, and actionable next steps.
Failure isn't the opposite of success, it's one of the fastest paths to it.
Come ready to reflect, share, and grow alongside Southern Colorado's entrepreneurial community.
