Je bent niet alleen.

SUMMARY:Spookgedachten van ondernemers (NL)
DESCRIPTION:Zelfs de meest zelfzekere ondernemer krijgt er vroeg of laat mee te maken: spookgedachten. 👻  Ze sluipen stilletjes binnen en doen je twijfelen aan jezelf\, je keuzes of je kunnen. Herkenbaar?\nZe nemen vaak de vorm aan van:\n\nStraalangst\n“Op Instagram vertellen over m’n aanbod? Aaaahhh\, straks vinden ze me arrogant.” \n\nFaalangst\n“Wat als niemand opdaagt voor mijn event? Of niemand mijn nieuwe online aanbod wil kopen?” \n\nImposter syndrome\n“Wie ben ik om anderen advies te geven? Straks merken ze dat ik ook maar wat doe…” \n\nFriends fears\n“Wat gaan mijn vrienden denken als ik weer iets nieuws lanceer?” \n\nComparison monster\n“Zij hebben al 10k volgers\, een team én een webshop… en ik?” \n\n… en nog vele andere varianten.\n\n  \nHoe herken jij deze gedachten bij jezelf? Wat doen ze met jou als ondernemer?\nEn vooral: hoe kan je ze doorprikken zodat je weer met meer vertrouwen je eigen pad volgt?

SUMMARY:Workshop: ervaar de superkracht als ondernemer met een turbobrein 🧠
DESCRIPTION:Ben jij iemand met een turbobrein (dat brein dat altijd en overal op volle toeren draait)?\nOp bovenstaande data hosten we een informele workshop: “Ervaar de superkracht als ondernemer met een turbobrein” samen met de Turbobreinen familie\, met Patricia De Bruycker aan het roer. We spreken transparant en zonder labels over dit onderwerp. \nWe gaan aan de slag met een stuk psycho-educatie door Dr. Debbie Baute en Patricia De Bruycker met praktische inzichten rond de impact van AD(H)D\, hoogbegaafdheid\, hoogsensitiviteit\, autisme\,…) op ondernemen! \nHet doel is dat jij buiten stapt met heldere strategieën en manieren om jouw neuro-divergentie nog beter om te zetten als ondernemer. In het tweede deel delen we in kleine groepjes (herkenbare) ervaringen met elkaar onder begeleiding van de verschillende facilitatoren. Je bent niet alleen.
