DESCRIPTION:The endless to-do list is a founder’s biggest illusion of progress. But being busy doesn’t equal growth. \nIn this session of The Founder’s Roundtable: Beyond the To-Do List. \nThis isn’t about fleeting productivity hacks; it’s a facilitated\, peer-to-peer strategy session designed to install founder-level focus. \nGuidance to expect: \n\nDiagnose your ‘urgency trap’: Uncover the activities that consume your hours but yield minimal long-term value.\nDefine your true strategic priorities: Cut through the noise and identify the pathways that genuinely accelerate your growth.\nCommit to one actionable shift: Walk away with a clear\, immediate step that transforms reactive hustle into intentional\, impactful progress.\n\nLocation: WAE Female Founders Lounge\, Purpose Studio
