Hi there,

After selling out the first Entrepreneurial Mindset Facilitator Certification of 2021, we've scheduled another beginning in April! 

In this online training, you will develop a deeper understanding of the eight life lessons by taking you through the various editions of the Ice House Programs in their entirety. Simultaneously, you will learn about our research into the entrepreneurial mindset and we will get together to discuss these concepts further as well as the best methods for the facilitation of these concepts through live Zoom sessions. In addition to the live sessions, you will engage in a mix of recorded presentations, small group and individual activities, discussions, and experiential, problem-based learning. 

Join a dynamic and diverse group of over 2,700 facilitators, many of whom call this training "an amazing experience...beneficial program for anyone looking to grow beyond their expectations."

For many, adopting an entrepreneurial mindset leads them to want to inspire and engage others in this work. If this sounds like you, click the link below!

The Choice Is Yours: How Do We Respond to Adversity?

"The ability to choose the way we respond to our individual circumstances is perhaps the single most powerful ability we have as human beings. Yet it is often misunderstood and under-appreciated. Some may see this topic as diminishing the difficult circumstances many people face. The goal of this post is to unpack the ability to empower ourselves by tapping into this powerful human ability, to respond rather than react. It is also a fundamental concept that lies at the core of an entrepreneurial mindset."

Diversity and Racial Justice in Entrepreneurial Mindset Education

As we reflect on this Black History Month of 2021, there is much to consider. What is clear from the tensions of last Summer, however you feel about these events, is that there is a stark disconnect between the availability and representation of opportunities for Black and brown communities in the United States. So the question remains, how can we lift up stories of community empowerment, from these impacted communities, to better understand the reality of the situation? 

Read our blog from last Summer to consider what it means to teach about entrepreneurship with a racial justice frame.
