Life after Corporate: How to transition to your own business
We had a lively discussion on transitioning from a corporate role to own business with EWOB members Jelena Radonjic and Olivia Mathijsen at EWOB Talks: Life After Corporate! The event, moderated by Nanditha Vijayaraghavan, explores the issue with examples from Jelena & Oliviaâs entrepreneurial experiences.
This conversation is designed as a sharing and exchanging on how to prepare, transition, embrace the challenges and build on the advantages of a new entrepreneurial career, making the leap from the corporate world. Jelena and Olivia are two examples of many and they are here to share their learning experience and hear from those of the EWOB community who are looking to make the leap or who already have done so.
