The Psychology of Innovation for Entrepreneurial Teams

Noontime Knowledge— Basking in Excitement & Discomfort: The Psychology of Innovation for Entrepreneurial Teams

Speaker: Tom Thorsheim, PhD - Leadership Coach & Psychologist

When we venture into new and challenging terrain in our professional or personal lives, we often feel both fear and excitement; it’s usually not either/or. It's both. Whether you are sharing a new product innovation with a VC, starting a business, undergoing a merger, getting a promotion, or beginning or ending a personal or professional relationship, crossing these thresholds can stir potent feelings. As team members and leaders, we can create work cultures that support these emotional experiences and promote growth, creativity, and healthy risk-taking. This talk will explore how we can become more compassionate, playful, and productive as teams, and more courageous and fear-tolerant at work and home. You don’t need to be fearless to be brave!
