Dare to Try – A Course on Failure, Learning & Mindful Risk-Taking
What if failure wasn’t something to fear—but a necessary part of driving the bold, impactful work we strive for at WWF? Dare to Try is a short, practical course developed by the Innovation Team to help you—and your teams—reframe failure as a powerful learning tool. In just five modules, you’ll explore why failure matters, how to take smarter risks, and how to build habits and systems that support learning and adaptation at every level.
This course is designed by WWF, for WWF - because achieving our conservation goals requires experimentation, learning from what doesn’t work, and creating space to try new things.
