Making Mistakes: Repair and Integrity at Work
Mistakes are inevitable in complex, fast-moving workplaces—but how they are met determines whether organizations learn or fracture. When fear of failure dominates, employees are more likely to hide errors, disengage from accountability, and experience moral distress, all of which quietly erode trust, collaboration, and performance.
​
This workshop supports leaders and employees in developing the internal capacity to meet mistakes with clarity, responsibility, and integrity, leading to more effective repair with colleagues and healthier team dynamics. For employers, this translates into reduced conflict escalation, stronger psychological safety, improved decision-making, and a culture where learning replaces blame—protecting both human well-being and organizational effectiveness.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
-
Recognize how fear of failure shows up in their thinking, behaviour, and decision-making at work, and how it influences avoidance, blame, or over-control.
-
Differentiate individual responsibility from systemic pressure, identifying how scarcity-driven or punitive cultures increase error concealment and relational harm.
-
Apply contemplative practices to work with mistakes internally—supporting self-repair, emotional regulation, and values-based reflection rather than shame or self-criticism.
-
Engage in interpersonal repair using clear, accountable communication that restores trust while maintaining dignity for all parties.
-
Practice integrity-based responses to mistakes, aligning actions with personal and organizational values even under stress or uncertainty.
