Stressing Growth: How Understanding the Science of Stress Can Help You Lead

Join us for a Wellness and Development Session on Stressing Growth: How Understanding the Science of Stress Can Help You Lead with Marsha Prospere, Wellness and Development Coach at Embarc Collective and Founder of Adept Flow, on Wednesday, November 20 from 10:00-11:30AM in the VFF Conference Room at Embarc Collective.

Who this is for: Founder/CEOs at various growth stages, from bootstrapped to Series A and beyond.

Why It Matters: Let’s face it—whether you’re bootstrapped or fundraising, balancing accounts receivable with making payroll and scaling your startup can place acute stress on a founder. This session offers a supportive space for open sharing and peer connection that will equip you with practical tools to navigate the unique stressors of cash flow and raising capital during your startup journey. Marsha will share best practices for managing stress around scaling and resource constraints.

In this interactive workshop, you will:

• Reflect on your current cash flow position and identify unique stressors
• Explore common burnout phases, the impact of chronic stress, and ways these stressors influence daily operations
• Learn and discuss proven strategies to reduce burnout and manage energy through the intense fundraising and GTM phases
