Join us for an interactive session focused on pivoting: learning how to adapt, rethink, and move forward when ideas, projects, or businesses don’t go to plan.
The event will feature guest speaker Wani Mkandawire, who will share real-world experiences of failure, reflection, and adaptation, and how pivoting became a turning point rather than a setback.
You’ll then take part in a practical workshop designed to help you:
- Understand what pivoting really means in a business context
- Explore how to adapt ideas under pressure
- Reflect on failure as a tool for growth
- Build confidence in making changes when things aren’t working
The session will finish with informal networking, giving you the chance to connect with others, share ideas, and continue the conversation.
Whether you’re refining a business idea, recovering from a setback, or simply curious about how successful people adapt, this session will give you practical insights and fresh perspective.
