What’s in this session:
Entrepreneurship can feel like navigating uncharted waters, full of opportunities, but also uncertainty and setbacks. In these moments, the strongest compass isn’t just a business plan, but the clarity we hold about ourselves.
This session invites participants to pause and reflect on their personal patterns, values, and aspirations. Through guided exercises and practical tools, they will explore how self-reflection can strengthen resilience, foster adaptability, and guide decisions in their entrepreneurial journey.
