Failure isn't Fatal - November 21st 6-8pm
Glandore - City Quarter - Lapps Quay


I have not failed; I’ve just found 10,000 ways that didn’t work – Thomas Edison

In business, it’s the challenges we overcome along the way the make us stronger and ultimately make each win all that bit sweeter, the team at Glandore Cork would like to invite you to our inaugural ‘Failure isn't Fatal’ night on Thursday, November 21st from 6-8pm. This isn’t about the doom and gloom of business failures, this is a fun, light-hearted, open discussion on the failures that can happen in the entrepreneurial world and how they make us stronger as business people, how we learn from them, how they help our businesses grow and how they make us laugh along the way…
 Failure is an essential aspect of success and we embrace it! Irish culture traditionally avoided talking about failure and yet in the business world, your failures can often be greater than your successes. Businesses fail, projects collapse, and entrepreneurs learn quickly, this event will be an opportunity to hear from a panel of distinguished Cork based entrepreneurs and learn how failure brought about their success.
