Power Hour #27 From Specialist to Founder
Details
From Specialist to Founder: The psychological transition no one prepares you for.
Most founders spend years becoming exceptional at building products, solving problems, or developing expertise. Very few are prepared for what happens when success requires a different process: becoming a leader. A communicator. A decision-maker. Someone whose greatest challenge is no longer technical, but psychological.
This is an interactive Power Hour hosted by UPTEC that will explore the identity shift that occurs when our role changes faster than our sense of self.
Participants will explore:
- Why stepping into leadership often feels like "becoming a beginner again"
- Why taking a step back can be more effective than pushing harder
- The psychology of confidence, identity, and uncertainty during periods of rapid growth
- How to experiment with confidence and treat setbacks as information, not personal failure.
- How to navigate the transition without losing the strengths that made you successful in the first place
- Practical frameworks for embracing new roles while staying grounded in your values and authentic leadership style
Rather than a traditional lecture, the session led by Keith Gissubel, combines psychology, storytelling, discussion, and experiential exercises that invite participants to recognize these patterns in themselves and leave with practical ways to navigate them.
