Childhood Education International’s Post

I am increasingly passionate about advocating for Entrepreneur Mental Health. To reignite valuable conversations and learnings, I am reposting a fun video montage from the inspiring 2023 QED Global Summit. This event featured two days of presentations and discussions with some of the best minds in fintech. QED Investors demonstrated its commitment to prioritizing the well-being of CEOs and their teams by inviting me to lead a session on mental health education and to facilitate genuine discussions about the stressors they face.  The summit culminated in a powerful message: "We want you to feel supported by us and to create cultures where mental health conversations are welcomed." My vision is for more conferences to create space for authenticity, enabling individuals to share struggles, resources, and uplift one another.  As an Executive Coach with a background in clinical therapy, I see the urgent need to shift the paradigm so that mental health is no longer stigmatized or concealed. It should be seen as a shared responsibility, rather than an issue to be tackled alone. There is vast potential in expanding the support network available to founders, both from VC partners and from within their own community.  I will continue to advocate for this cause and guide my clients to recognize the link between performance, productivity, self-awareness, and well-being. As I collaborate with exceptional founders from around the world, I am more committed than ever to expanding the avenues of support for this community of innovative leaders.

Was cool join a B Lab event yesterday tailored for CEOs of B Corps, featuring a panel of leaders from innocent drinks, House of Hackney, and Shakespeare Martineau. They chatted about their B Corp journeys, and it was great to see perspectives from different industry heads. Left me reflecting on a few points: 💰 The traditional valuation of businesses primarily focuses on EBITA. This method overlooks the significant, but non-financial, contributions a company makes. How can we re-calibrate our evaluation criteria to factor in other positive impacts? 🌿 Producing goods and services extends beyond financial figures, incorporating environmental and social costs. Can businesses be incentivised to look at the real cost of what we produce? 🤝 Individual B Corps are making strides, but there’s an untapped potential in collaborative efforts. B Corps working together could be greater than the sum of their parts. What strategies can facilitate collaboration, enhancing our impact? Thanks B Lab and panelists Nick Canney, Frieda Gormley, and Sarah Walker-Smith. My first event. 5 stars, will return.

2023 was quite the year! As we close out some words that come to mind in reflection are innovation, adaptability, community, and teamwork. We worked on innovative projects, remained flexible and focused when encountering change, centered the community in our initiatives and did so alongside each other, our community partners, and our neighbors. Here’s a group photo of the INCREDIBLE Community Resource Paramedicine team, plus 2 honorary team members, at our holiday party. We can’t wait to see what 2024 holds! What’s one thing you learned in 2023? And what is one thing you are looking forward to in 2024?

We are back to business

📸 Celebrating Business Achievements 🍻 David Ellicott DipPFS and I recently reached our first significant business milestone! 🎊 A few weeks ago, we shared a heartfelt moment, marked by a hug and an end-of-day IMPOSSIBREW (which, by the way, lives up to its name -it’s that good). 🍺 In the world of business, having a well thought out plan is crucial. Regularly reviewing our plan has helped us iron out miscalculations and adapt to shifts in our business landscape. We did encounter a slight delay—our first milestone arrived three months later than originally planned. Turns out, our estimated turnaround times were longer than we anticipated. 🤷♂️ 📆 But here’s the exciting part: Armed with newfound knowledge and operational efficiencies, we’re now aiming to hit our next big goal three months ahead of schedule! 🚀 Question for you all: How do you mark your achievements and celebrate them? Share your tips and stories below! 🎈 🎉
