Mistakes, setbacks and unfulfilled expectations: an honest f*ck-up session
Created on: February 26, 2025
I’ll be speaking on a panel at the International Journalism Festival, alongside:
Steffi Dobmeier, Head of digital and Editorial development at STERN
Chris Moran, Head of Editorial Innovation at The Guardian
Anita Zielina, Founder and CEO of Better Leaders Lab
In this discussion, four experienced journalists take an honest look at their own failures and setbacks. Instead of success stories and best practices, this session is about the things that haven’t worked out in recent years – and why. Which projects promised more than they delivered? Which ideas failed due to practical hurdles or were overtaken by reality? This session offers a rare opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others and look at what didn’t work with humor and perspective. An honest exchange about setbacks, which often teach more than success.
