Last week, the Gathering Center for Young Entrepreneurs was buzzing with energy and enthusiasm as they hosted an entrepreneurial devotional session that left attendees feeling motivated and empowered. The guest speaker for the day was none other than the renowned Sis Tamara Dadson, an Africa West area family services specialist and a clinical health psychologist, who returned for her second talk, accompanied by the Mr. Bright Adonu.
The theme of the session was “Identifying and Adjusting Your Mentality,” a topic that struck a chord with all aspiring entrepreneurs present. Sis Tamara Dadson shared valuable insights on the various types of mentalities that can impact one’s entrepreneurial journey.
She began by encouraging the audience to recognize the importance of a positive and growth-oriented mindset. She highlighted the significance of identifying what is within our control and what is not. As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to control every aspect of our ventures, but Sis Tamara reminded us that some things are beyond our influence. Instead, she emphasized focusing our energy and efforts on the aspects that we can control, such as our attitudes, relating to those around us and decision-making.
One of the highlights of her talk was her discussion on coping with situations that feel out of our control. Life’s journeys are often filled with uncertainties and challenges, and it’s crucial to develop coping mechanisms. Sis Tamara shared a discreet yet efficient breathing technique that has personally helped her remain calm during stressful moments. The congregation eagerly practiced the technique, feeling an instant sense of relaxation and focus.
Mr. Bright Adonu took the stage to share valuable resources available in the gospel library and the Africa West Welfare and Self-Reliance Portal. He highlighted how these resources can provide valuable support to individuals and families facing challenges on their path. These resources aim to strengthen the our wellbeing, both mentally and spiritually, and provide a sense of community and support.
The session came to an end after the audience had asked various questions and were given very thought provoking answers. The audience left feeling inspired, equipped, and ready to embrace a growth-oriented mindset on their journey to being mentally sound.
The Gathering Center continues to be a place of empowerment and growth, fostering a community of passionate individuals determined to make their mark in the world. With sessions like these, it is evident that the future of entrepreneurship is in safe hands, and the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and thriving!
