Summary
Nastassia C. S. is a startup launch expert, D.E.I. strategist and founder of The Mind Designer. She helps founders develop authentic leadership skills, so they can create inclusive, and innovative workplaces.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Remember yourself. Remember that you are launching a business, and ultimately, always a human being with feelings and values with your own personal definition of success. You are your own best guide.
2. Business values are an amazing way for entrepreneurs to know whether they are on the right track or not, or whether something they want to try fits into wanting to get to or wanting to go.
3. If you are the first woman of color to launch a certain type of business, you have a built in network. If you're representing a community that you happen to be part of, or an identity they hold that you are really proud of, you get a built in network.
