Guest speaker Daryl R. Privott, Ph.D., will present “Six Blocks: Learning How to Overcome Failure in Today’s World” from 9-10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 2, on the Southern State Community College Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.

The event is free and open to the public.

Failure is inevitable in life and Privott will explain how critical it is we overcome these challenges and use them to our advantage. Failure can bring fear, anxiety and stress into our lives, which in turn may cause us to give up on the task we want to accomplish. Privott explains how important it is to remember that no one is perfect and we all face challenges in life.

Plan to attend this hour-packed session to learn how you can train yourself to overcome the challenges you face and use them to your advantage.
