Turn failure into a leadership advantage

Organizations don’t fail because people make mistakes.
They fail because they hide them.

Fuckup Nights helps teams reframe failure as fuel for learning, growth, and innovation.

We deliver customized keynotes, workshops, and live experiences —never boring, never generic.

Our formats create psychologically safe spaces where people:

  • Speak up
  • Take smart risks
  • Learn faster
  • Build real resilience

No long programs. No corporate fluff.
Just powerful experiences that shift mindsets—and behavior.

We worked with Cemex to host Fuckup Nights events in their offices across Europe and the Americas, inspiring innovation through storytelling. 

CEMEX leaders shared stories about their mistakes and the lessons they learned, which helped inspire the redesign of innovative products now part of their portfolio.

FUN

The problem

Most corporate events are met with applause and forgotten the next day. Teams leave feeling inspired for a day, and then go back to hiding their mistakes in their comfort zone

Knowledge alone does not bring about change.

Culture changes when you live out the new behavior. When a room full of people sees a colleague share their mistakes and lessons learned—and everyone laughs, learns, and breathes a little easier.

What's Included
Three stages, one powerful experience

What's really going on?

Before

We select three speakers from our global network, or we train people from your company to share their own stories.

We work with you to align the content, audience, and objectives.

During

A 60- to 120-minute live session (in-person, hybrid, or virtual) featuring an expert moderator, an introduction to redefining failure, real-life stories of failure, and interactive activities that engage the entire audience.

Afterward

More than 90% of participants report a change in their perception of failure.

Your team leaves with a new way of doing things.
