Female Entrepreneurship - A brave new world - harnessing the positives from changing times

How do we flourish in an ever changing world?

So much of what has happened as a result of the C0VID-19 pandemic has been out of our control. We can choose how to approach these changes positively on a personal and professional level.

Like many of us, you will most likely be experiencing changes in your productivity along with doing things very differently. This is an ideal time to reflect and understand how the crisis can be turned into an opportunity so you emerge living a more balanced, purposeful life with an agile business better equipped to succeed in the post COVID-19 world.

During this online session, with the help from our experienced guest entrepreneurs we will explore the following topics:

• using skills to help manage changing productivity levels and strategies to gently help motivate yourself and others
• hear from others how they have pivoted their business models
• well-being tools to help you re-energise and support yourself
• meet others and stay connected

You will have an opportunity to contribute and interact during our fascinating panel and Q&A sessions.
