STL Startup Week 2022

Entrepreneurship does not favor the specialist who is only able to do one thing really well. It favors teams of generalists who are able to pivot from one role to the next on a shoestring budget. But the pressures that build while wearing so many hats are real and emotionally draining. George Bailey, president of Arch Grant recipient zPods, will talk about the many hats he has worn as an entrepreneur and practical methods he uses to move his business forward while avoiding burnout.

Objectives of presentation:
• Attendees will learn concrete coping methods for transitioning successfully between wildly different tasks.
• Attendees will learn communication and other skills that mitigate the effects of burnout.
• Attendees will receive an overview of some of the best books in time and project management.
• Attendees will learn skills for creating clarity for when the chaos of startup life peaks.
