"There's no such thing as failure, there's only feedback," says Jim Kwik, founder of Kwik Learning. "Failure or feedback is the breakfast of champions. A lot of times, when it comes to learning, which is my specialty, a lot of people do not learn faster because they are scared of failing."

Kwik was one of the expert speakers at the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival (SharjahEF) 2019, organized by Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center, Sheraa, last November. He took part in a two-day program curated by Vishen Lakhlani, founder of Mindvalley, an online personal growth platform

The 2019 Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival brought together a diverse group of experts from government, technology, business and academia, including HH Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, founder and CEO of Alliances for Global Sustainability and Circle of Hope Foundation; HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, founder and chairman of KBW Ventures; Grammy award-winning artist and entrepreneur, Akon, Jonas Kjellberg, co-creator of Skype, Backstage Capital founder Arlan Hamilton, and many others.
