A resilient and open mindset will lead to greater capacity to cope or adapt to the things life throws at us, big and small.

Our lunch & learn this month will focus on tools, coping skills, and actionable steps towards building a more resilient and open mindset as an modern entrepreneur. This isn't something you have or don't have, this is a skill that can learn and grow to your needs.

Our guess speaker, Kelli Monzano, will walk us through how a healthy and resilient mindset can impact your work/life blend and the main ways resilience and acceptance are built, as well as concepts and exercises you can do anytime you feel your mental bandwidth waning. This interactive presentation will be even more meaningful with your individual participation, so bring your experiences, open mind, and any questions you may have on the topic.
