EVENT OVERVIEW

It takes a lot to become a successful entrepreneur. With all the challenges that come with the profession, entrepreneurship calls for resiliency amidst all difficulties. But while founders can be strong enough to get through the highs and lows of running a business, it is important to remember that they are not invincible. As they say, success comes with a price, so we must ask what is the psychological price of entrepreneurship and how can we deal with it?

Join us on January 28, 7-9PM at A SPACE Greenbelt as we kick off 2019 with our first TechShake Talk of the year on The Psychological Price of Entrepreneurship. We will be featuring experts and mental health professionals who will talk about mental health problems in the workplace, startups, and specifically founders.

We invite everyone in the community to join our event and help promote mental health awareness.

This is event is done in cooperation with BrainSparks and A SPACE.
