Founders deal with anxiety, pressure, depression and intense highs and lows. They struggle with sleep, prioritizing their time, decision-making and burnout, which leads to poor presentations, communication and relationship-building. This all contributes to the top reason startups fail: relationship and people problems.
Let’s get real about the challenges facing founders and discuss tools that can help you get an immediate handle on the situation. Mindfulness works, but it’s ordinarily hard to find the time or a teacher who knows how to make it accessible to founders.
This leadership development workshop first debuted at HustleCon last year and the approach is human-centered, practical and based on real-world experiences. Attendees will receive personal guidance and feedback to discover what works for them.
