Show Notes
Many women feel like jugglers: Most of us are balancing too many balls in the air too much of the time.
For women entrepreneurs with children, it can manifest as “mom guilt”. We can feel like when we’re working on our “business baby” we’re not fully there for our children – and vice versa.
Dr. Connie Reimers Hild is a “high touch futurist” and entrepreneur and today she shares her own challenges integrating business and motherhood, and why she thinks women have a great opportunity now to change the game of business.
Connie’s work as CEO and founder of Wild Innovation focuses on spotting ways in which entrepreneurs, executives and nonprofit organizations can match their strengths to fast-changing circumstances, and focus their innovation where it will have the most impact.
On this episode learn:
- Why it’s important to stay focused on enjoying the entrepreneurial journey as you move towards your destination
- Why moms make great entrepreneurs and why the female founder journey can inspire the best in our children
- Why middle age women are poised to be the innovators best placed to take advantage at the intersection of high-tech and high-touch
- And much more!
