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.

The problem

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

Knowledge alone doesn't create change.

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

What's Included
Three stages, one powerful experience

What actually happens?

Before

We select 3 speakers from our global network — or prepare people from your company to share their own stories.

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

During

A 60–120 minute live session (in-person, hybrid, or virtual) with an expert moderator, an intro that reframes failure, real failure stories, and interactive dynamics that get the whole room involved.

Afterward

Over 90% of attendees report a shift in how they see failure.

Your team leaves with a new way of acting.

Experiences tailored to each organization

How do we do it?

Bootcamp / Corporate

Creating opportunities for growth in the wake of the crisis

We conducted a bootcamp alongside the Visa team to strengthen adaptability to challenges and promote a culture of innovation rooted in learning from mistakes.

We crafted a tailor-made space that provided the team with concrete tools to turn crises and challenges into opportunities for growth.

Program / Corporate

Using data to improve organizational culture

We assessed Johnson & Johnson's organizational culture using our Failure Survey tool.

We design workshops for the leadership team to strengthen their communication skills, develop crucial conversations and work on their team's error management.

Private / Corporate Event

Learning from mistakes to innovate in their products

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.

We use our 3-speaker format and adapt it 100% to your culture and goals.

We kick things off with an introductory talk designed to shift mindsets and behaviors, followed by high-energy interactive dynamics.

What kind of results do organizations see after working with you?

More than 90% of attendees report that they changed their perspective on failure after our events.

Companies such as the World Bank, Coca-Cola, Google, and Airbus recommend our experiences as the highest-rated activity among their employees.

The word "failure" triggers resistance and fear in my company. How should we address this?

We design every event or workshop to fit your company culture and your team’s specific goals.

Your experience can be vibrant, disruptive, and memorable, or more data-driven and focused on actionable insights.

Everything is customizable—the name, branding, speaker profiles, moderators, and story types—ensuring it aligns perfectly with your needs.

I love the idea, but how can I sell it to my boss?

We’ve got your back. We’ll support you with all the data from our work with other organizations, highlighting the key benefits and impact.

If the word “fuckup” is a dealbreaker, no problem. We can use our acronym “FuN event” or our more formal brand: The Failure Institute.
