This interactive workshop is designed to help you prepare for the Female Founders Pitchfest by connecting to your deeper 'why' and developing a mindset that supports your success. We'll do a deep dive into these questions: Who are you and what's your why? Why are you the best person to solve the problem your business solves? Connecting to why you do what you do will help you tell a compelling story to create the emotional hook that makes people interested in your business. And if you don't believe you're the best person to solve this problem, no one else will either. This workshop will teach you a powerful tool to help you build your confidence for results you haven't yet created. Workshop Details This 2-hour workshop will be offered twice and participants are welcome to attend one or both sessions.
