The Failure Lab Story Formula is simple and impactful:
Personal Failure Story + No Judgement or Blame + NO LESSONS

Failure Lab stories burrow into your conscious and subconscious mind, inviting empathy, inquiry, conversation, and connection.

Upon first glance, the Failure Lab Story Formula might seem the opposite of inspiring; however, this careful formula is a deliberate framework designed to facilitate self-reflection and human connection. The lack of resolution invites the listener into a space of self-inquiry and empathy. They can’t help but wonder, “What would I have done in that situation? When have I felt the feelings of the storyteller?” And that is the power of the Failure Lab Story Formula - it takes one person’s story and it turns it into an infinite number of experiences. Every person that listens to the story is invited into its emotional depths. Every person that listens to the story adds to it their own experiences, identity, and meaning-making. A single story becomes a magical tool of human connection.

The candid delivery of the stories, told by successful humans, works to dispel the illusion of isolation and stigma around failure by fostering empathy and elevating universal human experience. We might not like to talk about it, but we ALL fail. Every. Single. Day. Big fails. Little fails. Fails of action. Fails of inaction.

The lack of lessons, morals, or conclusions not only invites the listener into personal reflection and meaning-making, it also embeds the story in the mind of the listener. This phenomenon is known as the Zeigarnik effect, named after the Soviet psychologist Blumar Zeigarnik. The Zeigarnik effect postulates that an interrupted or incomplete event embeds itself into our consciousness & memory more effectively than a resolved event.

BRING FAILURE LAB TO YOUR ORGANIZATION OR CITY
“TEDx made me feel like a failure, Failure Lab made me feel like a human.”

Failure Lab showcases the untold struggles behind successful people. These unique events bring communities and organizations together through powerful stories, crowdsourced lessons, and music. There is much to be learned from sharing our struggles–everyone fails, the real question is how do we respond to failure?

CRUSH THE FEAR AND STIGMA OF FAILURE

The goal of Failure Lab is to eliminate the fear of failure and to encourage intelligent risk-taking. By sharing struggles, people can learn from the failures of others and dismantle the stigma around failure. In order to have honest conversations about success, we need to have honest conversations about failure.

The events consist of storytellers and entertainers and can be customized to fit a one- or two- hour format. The special ingredient is the storytellers not resolving the story of what happened after the failure. The audience’s own lessons are crowdsourced and used to create a new dialogue that brings teams together.

Collaborate with our team of event designers. We’ll start with a discovery call to customize a flawless event. Virtual support and communication with the Failure Lab team includes expert consultation on: venue, storytellers, marketing, talent coaching, and event design.
