All founders feel feelings. Lots of them, with high variability at a high intensity and often at a high rate of change.
When founders don’t know how to work with their emotions, their execution slows down, they suffer, their relationships fail, their brains don’t work, and their startups often die. This is optional, preventable, and unnecessary. Leave these options to your competitors.
Founders scale themselves when they learn how to use their emotions as data that can help them execute. This Group Office Hours will teach you how.
What You’ll Learn:
Why processing your emotions is a competitive advantage
That it’s normal for founders to feel feelings
A framework to understand emotions as data that can help you execute
Tools and strategies to identify, name, and process your emotions
The data that common emotions hold for founders, like anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, and frustration - and how to use that data in your work
How to avoid the common emotional failure modes that slow down founders and kill their startups
