Learning from a host of female founders, you’ll discover how to engage your inner entrepreneur and boost your career prospects using proven techniques to deliver business success.

Improve your entrepreneurial mindset

By learning to think and work with a more open frame of mind, you can find new opportunities to supercharge your career.

You’ll develop your career vision, resilience, and creativity to bring an entrepreneurial flair to all aspects of your professional life. You’ll learn to develop the right mindset, whether you’re a seasoned business owner or a first-time employee.

Thinking like a founder will help you to identify opportunities wherever they arise.

You’ll learn how to set clear goals, chase down opportunities, and ensure that you make the most of them. You’ll also define a personal career vision that is unique, yet achievable.

Explore the advantages of calculated risk for achieving career success

Having learned how to creatively transform challenges into opportunities, you’ll consider when to take calculated risks and the competitive advantage you can achieve by stepping out of your comfort zone.

You’ll assess the risk itself, the opportunity within it, and how that aligns to your career vision.

By the end of this course, you’ll have discovered a way of working that is exciting and challenging, helping you develop a professional trajectory that can flourish even in the most adverse situations.
