Therapy for Entrepreneurs. Your business is only as healthy as its leaders.
Hey, there.
As we move into mid-August, we’d love to tell you that we’ve all had an easy breezy summer over here, but the truth is, we’ve been juggling a lot! We’ve been experiencing a lot of change over here at CT—both personally and professionally—and at times, it can feel a little overwhelming.?
We share this not to worry you—don’t fret, we’ve got some cool things cookin’ at CT and, of course, we connect with our own therapists, too ????—but because we think it’s important to be honest about what the entrepreneurial journey is really like. The experience is often glorified and as a company trying really hard to practice what we preach, we want to acknowledge that it’s not always easy. We have good days, we have bad days, and we have in between days. It’s okay if you do, too.?
So, as we move into the tail end of summer, we’re taking breaks where we can, taking stock of our wins, and being flexible with ourselves (and each other). We hope you’re doing the same.
Save the Date ??
The 2nd Annual Women in Tech Summit by the cool folks over at Toast is happening on September 19th. We love the work they’re doing to diversify hiring and to reduce the gender wage gap in tech.?
In their words (which we love): “Tired of tech conferences that feel like a tech bro flex fest? The Toast Summit is the exact opposite of every tech event you've experienced.” Think complementary childcare, anti-stim lounges, and choices for your programming. Tickets are now on sale.
Community Kudos ??
We’ve officially wrapped up our summer impact analyst project with Propel Impact . This project was all about better understanding the impact of mental health for startups, and what leaders require to implement effective solutions.?
A huge thank you to Sara Mah , Leah Louren?o, MSc, CTNC and the amazing team at Propel Impact for their dedication, creativity, and hard work. Building a startup is challenging, to say the least, and even more challenging when doing it by yourself. Community-building programming like this helps us build bigger and brighter.
