Wellbeing for Entrepreneurs Event | Brussels, Belgium May 2023

 

Few entrepreneurs find the right balance between work, life and mental wellbeing. Are you one of these? Do you want to be? This was the message to attendees of our one day event where we revealed the diversity of tools and techniques that we have researched and created over the last 18 months, to help (aspiring) entrepreneurs to manage, understand and improve their mental wellbeing.  

To start the day, Ronald Provoost, (founder  of H3ROES) shared his thoughts about balancing between work and social life.  He gave attendees some insights on how he found the right balance between economic value and social value in his company.  This was followed by a Carousel of Workshops on our toolkit topics of Resilience |Reading the Signs |Time Management | Reflection |  Networking | Mental Well-being introducing guests to the Learning Platform, toolkits and teaching cases developed through the project.

Mental Well-Being and Burnout prevention for Entrepreneurs |

June 2021

How to maintain balance and strengthen vitality in challenging times.

As engaged and passionate entrepreneurs, we often push our limits. The entrepreneurial work setting is complex, intense, uncertain and demanding.

Long working days and the divergent responsibilities that come with an own business, eventually put strains on our psychological and emotional wellbeing. Stress, anxiety, depression and burnout syndrome are more common among entrepreneurs.

Leading on from our survey of entrepreneurs we hosted a live webinar event on 29th June 2021 to look at the specific ways in which entrepreneurship can affect mental health and how to recognise and how they might be prevented. The webinar included workshops and focus groups to identify the needs of entrepreneurs that lead to the final output of support and learning materials.

The online event was organised by the Erasmus+ ENTRE MWB team with short keynotes of several speakers to give entrepreneurs new insights.

The event was targeted towards:
- entrepreneurs from all sectors
- small businesses and companies
- sole traders and start-ups
- social entrepreneurs
