Got Resilience helps corporate executives learn how to successfully navigate the hidden mines of this life-changing transition.
Event Details
More and more corporate executives and senior business managers are making a transition from the corporate world to owning their own businesses. Some folks become solopreneurs, others buy companies, and yet others build passion businesses from the ground up. No matter which route they choose to pursue, they embark on a transformative path in their lives.
So how do you ensure that you land successfully on your feet? Got Resilience helps corporate executives and expats alike learn how to prepare and successfully navigate the hidden mines of this life-changing transition. You will learn how to help prepare mentally and financially, how to better deal with emotional vulnerabilities of a passion business, how to build your network early, and how to deal with unexpected issues of isolation.
If you have been thinking about taking this leap or have recently done so, you will benefit from attending this program. Based upon popular demand, this webinar is a continuation of the discussion on mental resilience started at the UCWBG Enterpreneurship Thing in November 2013.
