Facilitator training reminders, upcoming conferences & a blog from ELI President, Rob Herndon.

Hi there,

While one does not need to be a subject matter expert in entrepreneurship to foster an entrepreneurial mindset in others, they do need to be an effective facilitator of the entrepreneurial discovery process.

Join us on Thursdays throughout the month of June or Mondays in November for a four-week Entrepreneurial Mindset Facilitator Certification Training that prepares participants to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in their classroom, organizations, and communities using the Ice House Entrepreneurship Programs.

The training involves real-world problem-solving and encourages participants to explore and learn new concepts while acquiring practical skills and knowledge that can be applied immediately to their work and life. This approach creates intrinsic motivation, promotes collaboration, and aligns with the evolving nature of education.

Check out the event pages below for complete agendas, learning outcomes, and registration.

EXPANDING MINDSET

Unplugging the Entrepreneurial Way: Strategies for Success in a Distracted World

By Rob Herndon

Maybe you’ll see the humor in this blog by the end, maybe not. I sure did as I was writing it.

Around this time in 2021, I wrote a blog titled “A Managerial vs. Entrepreneurial Approach to Leadership.” At the end of the piece, I mentioned how future blogs would deliver more nuggets of wisdom. My assumption at the time was that I’d pump out a blog a month and become a prolific content creator. But, as I’m sure many of you can relate to, distractions from this blogging effort consistently found a way to prevent me from writing as I’ve tried to guide our small business through many trials and tribulations over the last few years.

In that last blog, I laid out the difference between a managerial and entrepreneurial approach to leadership. I did this through an example involving a cyber-attack on a K-12 school system. As that example showed, developing entrepreneurial skills and not just managerial skills is critical for effective leadership today. But which entrepreneurial skills can make the most difference in our daily lives? Let’s dig into one of them: the development of an internal locus of control.
