Introduction: Have you ever made mistakes in your career that made you experience cognitive dissonance? Now’s the time to feel uncomfortable about them, but be brave and share them!
Purpose: in order to shield ourselves from the effects of cognitive dissonance, it’s important that we dare to admit mistakes.
Activity: Think back and share a story about a mistake you’ve made. What did you do? Did you experience cognitive dissonance? Did you admit your mistake to others? Or did you try to deny it? You can keep your mistake to yourself, or share it here! Small word of caution: please don’t share if you think it can backfire or if the knowledge shouldn’t be out in the open. I trust you can make your own judgement here
