Fear of failure is one of the main reasons women don’t launch a startup and one key tool to overcoming that is to build your confidence. 

Join us for this unique, interactive workshop were Emily McGowan and Sue Briggs will enact a conversation between an entrepreneur and her business coach. Watch the exchange and make suggestions on what improvements could be made and learn how to become more confident.
