Turn amazing ideas into awe-inspiring action.

Dreams stay dreams until we take the initiative to make them a reality. Our Entrepreneurship Academy focuses on developing the skills critical to carrying out a business vision. Together, we’ll learn how to collaborate with others in order to grow your idea, how to set the stage for bringing ideas into action and how to cultivate a culture of entrepreneurship within your team.

Beyond the big picture business goals, we’ll get nitty-gritty with soft skills too. Our program will help you build confidence in yourself and your ideas – so you can courageously command a room, whether it’s full of colleagues or future investors.

October 10, 2023: “Entrepreneurial Thinking”
Facilitator: Lars Farabee, EDd.
Professionals at all levels and in all fields need to be innovators, problem solvers…and entrepreneurial thinkers. But what does that mean? Are entrepreneurs born or can they be made through practice and action? (Hint: we think you can become an entrepreneur today!)
This course will examine several contemporary entrepreneurial endeavors to examine how individuals and groups have pursued entrepreneurial activity successfully. It will also offer students an opportunity to design their own entrepreneurial endeavor within an existing organization, focusing on lasting impact and creating a culture of change.

• Roadblocks to getting your idea off the ground (and how to get around them)
• How to create and propose their own entrepreneurial endeavor

• Entrepreneurial Self Awareness

• Showing up Authentically
• What is Public Speaking?; The various forms of speaking and their respective benefits.
