Workshops & Programs

By Fantanesh Attomsa, Founder

​

Personal development workshops are an extremely valuable tool for companies, schools, organizations etc. They allow for personal growth and increased productivity through learning how to manage stress, deal with conflict and create a happier, healthier work environment.

 

Through years of research, knowledge, and practice, I have developed various educational tools that cover topics such as self-care, stress management, work-life management, holistic (mind/body/spirit) health, massage tips, setting boundaries, energy protection and more.

 

My purpose and passion is to make self-care accessible. Through developing workshops, programs, and community engagement, my goal is to make quality holistic health education easily available so that we can all feel empowered to live happier, healthier lives.

Mental Health & Wellness for Busy Entrepreneurs

Are you an Entrepreneur?

 

Entrepreneurs are known to be highly driven and resilient, and contribute immensely to the health of their communities and economies. However, when it comes to their own health, recent studies have shown that entrepreneurs often put their own self care needs at the bottom of their priority list. 

A recent study from BDC  highlighted the many stressors that entrepreneurship can have have on a person, including managing cash flow, operations, staff, effects of COVID-19, impact on families, managing debt and so much more.  A further study from Start Up Grind revealed that 72% of entrepreneurs have mental health issues and are less likely to seek help. 

​

Many workshops and courses are offered to entrepreneurs to teach them how to learn a certain software, manage teams of people, become more efficient, learn a new skill, or develop in other ways professionally. However, through my practice, I have always felt there was lack of education surrounding the importance of prioritizing our health within our uniquely hectic and exciting lifestyle. 

Traditional self care practices are not realistic for entrepreneurs, given that they lead very unconventional lifestyles. Entrepreneurs need to be educated on the importance of regular self care that is realistic, practical, and can be easily incorporated into their already busy lifestyles. Entrepreneurs need accessible self-care practices that cost little to no time or money for longevity and success.

​

• Are looking for ways to stay grounded while managing the demand of your hectic lifestyle?

• Would you be interested in connecting weekly with like-minded entrepreneurs?

• Are you interested in learning strategies to stay productive, reduce burnout and get access to resources?

• Would you like to develop sustainable practices to support your mental health and wellness that fit into your schedule?

​

​

If this resonates with you, I invite you to join our 8 week workshop: Mental Health & Wellness for Busy Entrepreneurs, happening September 6th to October 25th, 2023. All stages of Entrepreneurs welcome!

​

We know you are busy. All you need is 60 minutes, one day a week to elevate yourself personally and thrive as an Entrepreneur.
