Vision Quest | What Happens When… We Learn To Fail Forward?

Introduction by: Brooke Rudd, 2027 NC REALTORS® President

In association leadership, mistakes are inevitable. Wasting them is optional. What determines the impact of a mistake is what happens next.

In this hilariously relatable and highly interactive session, communication expert Page Fehling explores why smart, capable people respond so differently when things go wrong, and how understanding those differences can help us recover faster, communicate better, and lead more effectively.
