The Entrepreneurial Mindset

Building Performance Simulation

 

Course Summary

The course will explore how an Entrepreneur’s mind works and what it takes to start a company. A range of topics will be covered, including why Entrepreneurs are crucial both to the society and the economy, what should be included in a Business Plan and how to build one, as well as Communication and Pitching techniques.

Participants will also have the opportunity to speak with a visitor serial entrepreneur to exchange ideas and opinions and pick on his brain.

Please note that the last lecture will have the form of an Entrepreneurial Stories session, during which four speakers will share their inspirational stories. More specifically, one entrepreneur who has already achieved success will share his journey, including the challenges they faced, how they overcame obstacles and emerged victorious. Another aspiring entrepreneur who is on the verge of registering their spin-off company will share their vision, their innovative solutions, and their inspiring spirit. In addition, two stakeholders who have supported these trailblazers on their journey providing the necessary resources, guidance, and encouragement will provide their insights.
