Share some of the stress and frustration of being an entrepreneur, normalise your individual ‘roller coaster experiences’, and increase connection and community.
You will learn about a simple tool to help you manage the unproductive thoughts that are common to all entrepreneurs so that they don’t drag you down.
Elizabeth will explain two concepts that will help you manage your mind as a founder.
- The Mental Trap – how unproductive thoughts cause the ‘bottom out’ effect. Becoming aware of these mental traps is the first step in levelling out the roller coaster.
- Rewriting the Thought => Feeling => Action – people subconsciously process situations by generating a thought, which leads to a feeling, which leads us to act in various ways.
In a group discussion, you will start to ‘rewrite’ your unproductive thoughts and understand how to manage them more effectively when they appear. Participants should come with a specific instance of a situation in mind that they feel has caused, or is causing, them to think less clearly than they think they should.
