Stronger with Support

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.
