Founder support circle: How to handle feedback

Startup coach at IFundWomen

Why you should take this workshop

We’ve been there. Being a Startup Founder can be a very lonely and isolating experience, especially for solopreneurs. That’s why, every month, we have created a safe space to let it all hang out, and gain support from one another. No investors, no judgments. This week's topic is all about feedback!

It isn’t just subordinates who need to get used to handling negative feedback. For startup heads who’ve founded a company and later face the challenge of managing a growing team, feedback or criticism can feel downright wounding. It often takes a willful, strong-headed leader who’s deeply committed to her idea to get a new company off the ground. So how do you respond to inevitable feedback from cofounders, investors, customers, and fellow team members? Join this session with IFundWomen Startup Coach, Ashley Olafsen, to talk about how to receive feedback, synthesize your thoughts, and address it appropriately if needed.
