We’ll share how to turn the B2B experience into E2E (employee-to-entrepreneur)! Interactive, informal discussion w/aid of a few slides, handouts, sharing lessons learned, real-life examples, humor and personal observations/opinions on making a successful leap, despite the many bumps and bruises gained along the way.
