I'M ALREADY IN BUSINESS. IS THIS COURSE GOING TO BE USEFUL?

You’ll also develop a vision for growth that doesn’t require you to work more. Our holistic approach will give you clarity of purpose and help you feel more grounded in your transition. And, you will gain a feminist framework for entrepreneurship!
If your business is already running at scale and you are looking to bring feminist principles into your business practices, C&C will not the the best fit for you.
I AM NOT A BUSINESS OWNER, I'M AN INTRAPRANEUR/MANAGER/LEADER WITHIN MY COMPANY AND VERY INTERESTED IN C&C, IS THIS FOR ME?
I'M NOT A FULL-TIME ENTREPRENEUR AND DON'T PLAN ON BECOMING ONE, BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THESE IDEAS. CAN I JOIN YOU?
C&C provides a valuable community for those engaged with the challenging and emotional work of entrepreneurship. It is not designed for employees wanting to bring these concepts into their workplace nor is it appropriate for those with primarily an intellectual interest in the material (academics, press, writers, researchers). Please consider our publications for deeper engagement.
I'M INTERESTED IN THIS COURSE BUT I'M A NORMAL HUMAN WITH SOME STUFF GOING ON (LIFE/WORK/KIDS/HOLIDAYS). WHAT DAYS/TIMES OF THE WEEK DOES THIS HAPPEN?
We like to set our own hours too! This course is housed on Pathwright, which is an online learning platform. Every Tuesday you will get a new bundle of materials. We engage with you via the online discussion threads and four live video calls. Please note that most of the course content requires an active internet connection to view.
There are four 90-minute live video classes to give you the opportunity to ask Jenn & the Sister team questions from the curriculum. These take place on Zoom.us. These are the only live class sessions of the course. If you can't attend these, don't worry! We will record the videos and post them online within 36 hours for you to view.
