🚀 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.
