Talking societal conditioning and entrepreneurship with Dr Dina Wittfoth

Taking It Personally
Taking It Personally
Episode • Jul 20, 2023 • 27m

I’m SO excited to bring you this special episode of Taking It Personally about how social expectations have shaped us and how this shows up when we transition from education or employment to entrepreneurship.

 

I was joined for the episode by Dr Dina Wittfoth, psychologist and life coach for Brainy Misfits, which is the term she uses for people who have a considerably higher than average IQ and who have found they’ve had to modify who they are, or mould their behaviour, to fit in with societal expectations, instead of being able to OWN their gifts without compromise.

 

Join us as we talk about:

  • How societal conditioning can affect entrepreneurs, particularly when we’re new to entrepreneurship and how it can hinder our business progress
  • How entrepreneurs feel about ‘authority’ and why it’s the the values and expectations imbued in the roles within institutions or organisations (not necessarily the attributes or actions of the people in the roles) that causes tension
  • What it means to be ‘authentic’ and can we really be so in the online space? and
  • Why understanding societal conditioning contributes to entrepreneurial resilience 

 

This really is an episode not to be missed!
