About this Event
Entrepreneurship isn’t just about learning how to set up a successful business, it’s often an emotional rollercoaster that requires a shift in our identity.
When we stretch ourselves and take on new challenges, it doesn’t only demand new strategies, it often means we need to overcome internal barriers and start to become a new version of ourselves. We’re repeatedly invited to think, decide, communicate and show up in unfamiliar ways. The skills that got us here, or worked well in our corporate career, aren’t always the ones that we need to move forwards. This gap in skills or strategies often shows up as nervousness or fear, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, overthinking or hesitation, especially when we are pitching, presenting, pricing or being more visible.
We can find ourselves in a conflict between the part of us that is bold and wants to stretch and take on challenges and that part of us that wants to play it safer and reduce risks. Learning to recognise and work with this internal tension, rather than fight it, is what allows entrepreneurs to trust themselves, embody their boldest energy, show up with greater presence and take aligned actions towards bigger goals, so that they can have a bigger impact.
In this masterclass, From Holding Back to Taking Action, we’ll explore what’s really happening beneath the surface when our confidence wobbles as an entrepreneur.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify and work productively with internal conflict, recognising its signals and applying techniques to navigate it with clarity.
- Strengthen trust in your intuition under pressure, distinguishing intuitive insight from fear or reactivity.
- Reignite your internal motivation and take courageous, aligned action toward aspirational goals - even when discomfort arises.
