The Roller Coaster of Entrepreneurship #MentalHealth

July 18, 2018 at 11:30 PM UTC – July 19, 2018 at 1:30 AM UTC

Individually and as teams, we constantly experience the ups and downs and oftentimes don't know what is waiting around the corner that can be stressful and cause anxiety. As entrepreneurs, we are proud of the strength we display. We're not expected to demonstrate weakness. This is a peer discussion initiated by a mental health professional. Think of this as a tune-up!

About this event

On our journies as entrepreneurs, we encounter ups and downs not always knowing what to do or when to expect big wins or big setbacks. Our first drop is the only time we know what to expect, then we freefall, we bank, we corkscrew, we catapult - expecting the guide wheels to keep us on track. Our peers and our loved ones can be the difference between succeeding, continuing, or falling off the tracks. 

This discussion is designed to help all of us recognize and learn what we can do to be more aware individually, as friends, and as teams. This isn't intended to be a sharing of your personal grievances and experiences, but a time to better understand what we can do individually and for each other's mental health.

Here is what you can expect in the evening:

  • Peer gathering
  • Confidential conversations
  • Open heart-felt (transparency)
  • Strengthening bonds in our community


Agenda:

  1. Practical hands-on exercise
  2. Guided peer discussion
  3. Self-lead breakout conversations


Every month we invite you to better understand and to embrace Startup Grind’s Values:

Give First (before you ask)

Help Others (before you help yourself)
