SOMERVILLE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Why run from failure when you can share your worst professional mistakes to a crowd full of strangers?
Well, that's exactly what you can do if you take part in the "Share the Fail" international movement which just returned to Boston for the first time in roughly a decade.
Three speakers are tasked to give a seven-minute presentation to the group on how they massively flopped in the business world, partly serving as a teaching moment for others, but oddly, also as a source of therapy for the presenters.
One of the debut presenters Nejem Raheem is a professor at Emerson College, and told WBZ NewsRadio's Jay Willett that the experience overall felt good.
"It's like how can we be more human in our work lives? For me, it was great," Raheem said.
Tamar Gaffin-Cahn and Sam Feldman are the organizers who brought the event back with a debut showing at the Aeronaut Brewery in Somerville. They say they hope to have more nights like these in the near future.
