Every week, in a class where the aim is to put learning into practice,
I finish my introduction with an unorthodox call to action: “Now, let’s make
some mistakes!”.
One day, I asked students why I invite them to make
mistakes. The response was that mistakes are learning opportunity.
Well, we have all heard that before, yet we still hesitate to create such an “opportunity”.
No, my call to action is actually saying dare to do things. It
is about a different kind of opportunity, the kind that makes us more open when we allow ourselves not to
be perfect and we feel ok with that.
