Join us for an engaging huddle, where Bianca will facilitate a conversation on building resilience, encouraging attendees to share their ideas and experiences in a supportive and collaborative environment. 

Who will this help? 

• New or early-stage business owners who feel overwhelmed or uncertain at times 

• Founders juggling the emotional highs and lows of running a business 

• Entrepreneurs who struggle with imposter syndrome, self-doubt or burnout 

• Solopreneurs who don’t have a sounding board or support network 

• Anyone who’s ever asked themselves, “Am I really cut out for this?” 

What will you get? 

• A safe, informal space to connect with others who get it 

• Real talk about the emotional rollercoaster of running a business — no fluff, no filters 

• Practical tips for building emotional resilience and bouncing back from setbacks 

• Tools to manage self-doubt, comparison, and fear of failure 

• Strategies to keep going when motivation dips or things get tough 

• Shared experiences and mindset shifts that can help you feel less alone and more capable 

• A boost of encouragement and a reminder of your why. 

This session promises to be valuable for both aspiring entrepreneurs and established business owners, where connections can be made in an informal setting over a cup of tea or coffee. 

About Bianca 

Bianca is a leadership coach with over 20 years of experience in the tech industry and the founder of Sprout Coaching. She helps business owners and emerging leaders grow in confidence, clarity, and capability through the power of coaching. 

Having lived both sides of the leadership challenge - as an employee who didn’t feel supported, and as a manager unsure how to truly empower her team - Bianca knows how hard it can be to lead well without the right tools. After training as a Transformational Coach, she brought those skills back into the workplace and saw first-hand how coaching helped her team step up, take ownership, and thrive - all while easing the pressure on her shoulders. 

Now, she supports business owners and managers to lead with authenticity, develop strong team dynamics, and create sustainable success from the inside out. 

Networking  

This session will be followed by a networking opportunity, providing a chance to connect with other entrepreneurs and young business owners, share experiences, and build valuable relationships.
