We are excited to be hosting a bi-monthly series of Founders First Workshops led by our FWD Entrepreneur in Residence, Dr. Becky Sage.

Join Becky and a peer group of entrepreneurs from The FWD Project to explore resilience, leadership and how focusing on your own needs can help your relationships, your organisation and your wider impact. Each session will explore a different aspect of well-being and leadership.

In this one-hour virtual workshop, you will examine your own relationship to leadership, hear stories from other founders and take away some tools to set you up for business success without sacrificing yourself.

Each session will explore a different aspect of well-being and leadership, so can be treated a series.

“Being a founder is like being on a rollercoaster. I say it is being on 10 rollercoasters all at once.

We tell ourselves to grin and bear it, to enjoy the ride, to embrace the hustle. We convince ourselves that we will just burn the candle at both ends for the next 6 months, when we will hit that next big milestone and then we can sleep. Resilience is an important entrepreneurial skill, after all, and everyone else is making it work – aren’t they?

True resilience isn’t just getting back up whenever we get knocked down. No one can successfully navigate the leadership demands of entrepreneurship if they constantly feel like they are stumbling around after a knock-out punch.

We can be resilient, effective leaders, founders & entrepreneurs AND be mindful of sustaining our own health. In fact, I think it is imperative to the success of your business.” – Dr Becky Sage.
