Workshop #1
Business from Bed and Back Again: Surviving a Health Crisis
(Ideal for professional associations that serve small business owners and self-employed professionals)
When an entrepreneur experiences a serious health crisis, it can have a significant and immediate impact on their business. As the chief of just about everything (service, marketing, planning, filing, etc.), if you don’t have a team of people who can step in when you are unable to, suddenly your business is at risk. But, as Joan and many others have learned, you do what you can and you survive.
Running a business in the midst of a health crisis is not going to be business as usual. Survival is not just about business anymore; it is also about your physical, mental and emotional self-care. It is quite likely that your priorities, values and approach – even the business itself – are brought into question when you, the owner, have had to lie quietly in bed or on the sofa.
In Business from Bed and Back Again, Joan will discuss the 4 most essential ingredients for thriving during and after a health crisis.
- Guided by Values
- Informed by Priorities
- Modulated by Available Time, Energy and Resources
- With Help from Others
She will weave personal stories shared with her by other entrepreneurs with practical, simple steps attendees can take to integrate recovery of strength in their business with continued care of their health and well-being.
