What the workshop set out to teach
Four objectives shaped the first session of the series.
-
Understand the role
Explore what it truly means to be an entrepreneur.
-
Notice the overlap
Consider how to balance work and life when their boundaries begin to overlap.
-
Weigh the reality
Recognize both the challenges and the opportunities of an entrepreneurial lifestyle.
-
Reflect on your mindset
Use a short self-reflection quiz to think about an entrepreneurial mindset in everyday life.
Ambition without losing the rest of life
The intended takeaway went beyond starting a company.
By the end of the lesson, students were intended to have a clearer understanding of how they could become more entrepreneurial in their own lives while still making room for the people, interests, and time that matter outside work.
Self-reflection was part of the lesson
The published outline included a short quiz intended to help students reflect on their own entrepreneurial mindset.
