Shulamit knows her subject matter very well and had many insights to share that could help everyone present in the workshop.

Her background in entrepreneurship, her education and life experience make this her true area of expertise.

Her ability to bring people with her through the sensitive topic of mental health in a way that makes them feel safe and supported is incredible. Participants learned so much. 

As a speaker, Shulamit is engaging and supportive while providing expert advice. She is easy, flexible, professional and supportive to work with.

I needed to connect with other entrepreneurs as part of my self care plan. I needed to spend time developing a plan for me, as I often spend most of my time serving others. I was noticing some irritability and difficulty balancing work and personal life.

As a result of the workshop, I have developed a mental health care plan that I incorporate in my daily and and weekly plans, just like the rest of my business plan. I'm making my mental well-being as important as my business.

The workshop experience was supportive and empowering and Shulamit is a well-informed, open and warm facilitator

Shulamit’s workshop on Mental Health for Entrepreneurs provided us with reassuring truths we all needed to hear!

With a calm and comforting demeanor, she gave everyone space and allowed for open communication to make everyone feel seen, heard, and validated.

She shared her valuable wisdom, gave us vital resources, and a plan we can action for ourselves to be able to maintain and protect our own mental health. 

I haven't been this excited about my mental health in a long time.

The workshop was helpful because Shulamit helps us identify a clear list of what to do and what to look for.

Shulamit was wonderful to work with.

She is an engaging, thoughtful, insightful and responsive presenter.

Workshop participants visibly enjoyed the content of Shulamit's presentation (e.g., they engaged in it, offered their perspectives, etc.). Many of them expressed their interest in connecting with her beyond the workshops.

The key insight I took from Shulamit's workshops was that, combined with systemic barriers, psychological trauma has a profound impact on one's entrepreneurial functioning.

In my capacity as the Managing Director of Polka Dot Powerhouse, a Canada-based, national networking group, I had the pleasure of having Shulamit speak at several meetings on the very important topic of mental health.

Shulamit came to the meetings very prepared, having given thought to who was going to be in the audience, what their needs might be and how to address those needs. She provided though provoking questions for each of us to consider and a safe space for us to openly discuss our own challenges with mental health in today’s world.

In her presentations, Shulamit is engaging, informative and very supportive.

I highly encourage others to have Shulamit speak for them.

The more we can dispel the myths and stigma around mental health, the better we as individuals and workplaces will be.

Shula is very professional and easy to work with, as well as a great communicator.

Shula is an accomplished business owner and therapist. We have worked with her in several capacities and are excited to have her in our community as a reliable resource.

I'm committed to healing, growing and being aligned wholistically to live wholeheartedly in all realms, family, career and personally. Shulamit's workshop was a powerfully attuned way to kick off my experience with 5th Wave.

Learning about the 7 factors of mental health risk for entrepreneurs was vital! If I can name it, I'll be able to tame it!

I'm now far more mindful of my own--and other entrepreneurs'--mental health in the context of my work.

Entrepreneurs need to be extra mindful of their mental health and how important it is to build a mental health plan into their work and lives.

The Mental Health for Entrepreneurs workshop created and presented by Shulamit should be required coursework in every MBA program.

Shulamit is a clear, compassionate teacher with a comprehensive grasp of the complicated, competing demands of business - especially for women.

She brought forward important perspectives and distilled vast information into practical, useful and highly effective information.

She is bright, funny, committed and above all - a kind, generous human.

This workshop is an invaluable resource at a time when it is sorely needed.

The workshop series was very helpful in allowing me to mindfully observe my own patterns when challenges surface during the entrepreneurial journey, then note them down and bring them to the workshops with Shulamit. Her insightful feedback helps me to adjust my own wellness practices and solidify them into an effective method suitable for my own personal needs. I highly recommend the workshop.

Shulamit is an authentic, relatable and credible speaker. She came across as someone who knows what she’s talking about not only because she has walked the journey personally, but she is also a trained mental health professional who integrates multiple frameworks and modalities to help her clients.

Her contributions resulted in the panel being one of the Top 5 most valuable topics at the summit based on the a survey of over 200 participants.

I highly recommend having Shulamit as a speaker on the topic of navigating and overcoming mental health challenges as a woman, mother, leader and entrepreneur.

Shulamit was a fantastic speaker for our group. She knew her stuff, presented it well, and left participants with many ideas for how they could improve their mental health. In a post-webinar survey, folks described Shula's presentation as informative, approachable, useful, and comforting.

Shulamit's energy and enthusiasm for the topic of entrepreneurial resilience were contagious.

Shulamit kept our viewers engaged and motivated throughout the entire presentation as she connected to the audience on a personal level.

Shulamit left attendees feeling inspired, empowered, and equipped with many great tools and knowledge to overcome the challenges of entrepreneur women. 

Shulamit’s expertise and deep understanding of the challenges women face in the entrepreneurial world were evident, and her practical advice on how to overcome these obstacles was invaluable. 

resurgo.co cannot recommend Shulamit enough- she is a true expert in her field, an incredible role model for women everywhere, and a pleasure to work with. It would be an honour to have her back any time!

Shula is a dynamic and excellent presenter.

She engaged attendees and provided thoughtful and useful advice that resonated with the diverse nature of the audience. Shula was invited back as the keynote speaker the following year.

Her ability to connect with people is exceptional.

I would highly recommend Shula as a presenter.

Shulamit’s presentation was very informative and very thought-provoking.

She was able to connect with the participants even on the virtual platform.  She kept everyone interested and engaged.

We truly enjoyed her calming nature and the knowledge that she shared with our group.

Shulamit's talks have always been raved about by the audience.

She provides a thoughtful, practical and achievable approach to managing your mental health.

I highly recommend her as a speaker or trainer for any event.

Shula led a webinar for local businesses focussing on entrepreneurship and mental health during difficult times.

The webinar was engaging, and Shula was able to answer specific questions from attendees while making the response relevant for the entire group.

Shula was able to take the topic we wanted to focus on and use her expertise to make the discussion interesting for our broad group of attendees with different backgrounds and mindsets.

The best part of the talk was seeing attendees get into it, sharing their experiences and asking questions.

Working with Shula to set-up the webinar was easy and straight forward. I’d highly recommend Shula as a speaker.

The mental health plan workshop made me realize what I do when crap happens and the importance of finding someone to work with. I didn't realize how important our own mental health is to the success of our business. The workshop makes you aware of it and you can see the value in checking in with yourself (as you do with your business) through a plan.

Shuli’s compassion, empathic and knowledge on the subject made the presentation super interesting, made it easy to understand the different concepts.

The Mental Health Plan workshop appealed to me because I am invested in supporting my mental health and get excited when I see content that engages my practice. I like that the workshop gave me a matrix (of sorts) to measure against with stressor and resilience markers. Shulamit is knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, clear and inclusive ❣️ This workshop is a must for business owners who are struggling with supporting their mental health, or beginning to understand how to support themselves and their mental health. 

To say that I was feeling overwhelmed before joining the community would be an understatement. I was burnt out (for the fifth time) and after 8 years of being in business, was questioning if I could continue. After the first session together, I knew this was a different type of community.

It wasn't the same experience as I'd had with previous coaching communities. For one, Shula was not like other coaches (probably because she isn't a coach, but a therapist). From the way she conducted the sessions to the engagement of others - each aspect of this experience made me feel instantly seen, heard, and supported.

Every person shared experiences I'd had or felt and that alone made me feel less alone. It became a haven - a refuge - a safe place to express what I needed to process and know that I could lean on the group. They held space for me to just be and that is priceless. I view this experience as one of the best acts of self-care I could've ever given myself and my business.

Shula is compassionate and really knows her stuff! I felt safe in her presence. I enjoyed that the group was made up of SERIOUS, full-time entrepreneurs (who still experienced doubts, and that was OK!).

My participation in the WESC reconfirmed a few things... like that I am not alone in what I am feeling, and that it's OK to have ups & downs. If anything it's to be EXPECTED! I needed the reminder and the comfort that it's OK not to feel UP all the time, and to be angry, sad and unmotivated.

I love learning about myself as a human and as a leader. The PR6 resilience assessment was appealing as it was a different approach and helped identify where I have some hidden challenges. They're the type of challenges only the people closest to me would really know about, and this highlighted how they're impacting me. As a result of the session, I'm more mindful of how those are showing up on a day-to-day basis, and I'm checking with myself to ensure I'm not self-sabotaging by going with my default settings.

Shulamit approaches everything with compassion and kindness. During the session, I felt understood and cared for as discussed my result, as well as a plan for me work on my growth areas.

As a result of working with Shula, on a personal level, the way I listen to people has changed. I am a more conscious listener. I am more compassionate, and calmer.

As a teacher, I am now able to provide more potent support and a better container to my students before and after class. I can simply listen without needing to provide an answer or a solution. I now know just listening is healing and supportive.

Shulamit is so fucking cool. She inspires me to be myself and not be afraid of that.

Shulamit has a rare ability to create and hold a safe and sacred space where people can explore and grow. She explains everything clearly and gently, she's grounded and centred, and she leaves her ego at home.

Before I joined the Women Entrepreneurs' Support Community, I was lacking community. I realized I needed to take advantage of the opportunity of sharing with such amazing women. I felt empowered to share my feelings with others and most importantly, I started a new business with a friend.

Shuli has an innate knack to integrate groups from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, listens attentively and her comments are always clear and to the point.

As a solopreneur who started her business just before the pandemic, joining Shula's Women Entrepreneurs' Support Community was an essential and effective way to build a community of support. This group provides that elusive space - the one that far surpasses the usual networking group where as Shula's says, we often wear masks of "having it all together." This group is a come as you are, speak your truth, get inspired, community of like-minded folks. You'll love it every bit as much as I do, promise.

Before working with Shula, everything was in my head and I wasn't able to get it out. Trying to express my feelings was intimidating, so I didn't. But then it would fester and boil over when I least wanted it to.

Now I feel relieved to have someone in whom to confide, someone who gets me. I have someone to reach out to in tough times, so I'm not alone. Working from home can be tough, so it's nice to have someone who listens and understands what it's like to run your own business and to be a woman.

The most important thing you should know about working with Shula is that it's a relief. I feel a little lighter after my sessions, even though it's hard sometimes to talk about myself. It's not scary. AND it's normal. I think everyone should have a Shula (even Shula!) to talk things through with. We all need a support system.

Before working with Shulamit, I was feeling stuck. I had this vision of something I wanted to create, but I had all of these external (or so I thought...) things holding me back. Throughout the course of a specific exercise, Shulamit helped me identify all of the swirling, chaotic things that were clouding my mind – and then helped me shift my perspective around them.

After this exercise which I can only describe as truly transformational, I felt lighter. I felt my mind open again. And I felt my creativity and energy flowing. Not only is Shulamit an incredibly talented practitioner, but also she is someone you just want to be around.

She is trustworthy, warm, non-judgemental, and allows you to fully process what needs to be processed while giving you a safe place to do so. I'm so grateful for her and I can't recommend her highly enough!

"One of the biggest issues I had was preparing myself to be actively self-employed. I was very scared. After working with Shula, I have been able to fill my schedule with clients. I still have the fear but I am able to do it anyway.

Shula has the capacity to fully be with you no matter what is going on. She gives empathy and creates space and therefore creates the environment for change to happen. I know that I can tell her anything and she still accepts me and helps me be with it and work on it."
