Join us as we launch the first neuroinclusive entrepreneurship workshop\, THINK: Executive Functioning and Ideation\, which will explore how executive functioning powers planning\, prioritizing\, and problem-solving. \n\n\n\nThrough the CAR (Creative\, Analytical\, and Reflective) problem-solving framework\, we will understand the link between executive functioning and entrepreneurship\, applying hands-on strategies to real life scenarios. Some of these strategies will include practical tools\, visual prompts\, and low-pressure collaboration designed for neurodivergent thinkers. \n\n\n\nThursday\, October 9\, 20256:00 – 7:30 PMIn-person at The Ability Hub (3820 24 Ave NW) \n\n\n\nInterested in attending the other two neuroinclusive entrepreneurship workshops?
