The Winning Mindset: Turning Setbacks into Success

29 Oct 2026

The Edinburgh Rugby Business Club is back for 2026/27, and we’re kicking off the season with our first event, The Winning Mindset: Turning Setbacks into Success.

Join us on Tuesday 17th November at Fogo De Chao in Edinburgh as we look at what it takes to overcome adversity and build a mindset that encourages success when the pressure is on.

Success is rarely a straight line. Whether on the rugby pitch or in the boardroom, setbacks, pressure and unexpected challenges are part of the journey.

What separates those who move forward from those who struggle to recover is often their ability to adapt, learn, lead and maintain belief when the pressure is on.

Bringing together perspectives from the world of professional rugby and the business community, this event will explore how individuals and teams overcome adversity, respond to pressure and turn challenging experiences into opportunities for growth.

As always, the event if free to attend for 2026/27 Edinburgh Rugby business club members, with tickets for non members priced at £25 + VAT.
