    Founders Workshop: The Large Conversation

    A Large Conversation is about stepping beyond the limits of your current reality and imagining a future that is bigger and bolder - for yourself, your business, and your impact. It’s about vision, purpose, and potential.

    In this interactive session, we will explore:

    • Where is my business heading?
    • What is my true drive for building a company?
    • What fears, dreams, and ambitions shape my path?

    As we engage in open, dynamic discussions, something powerful happens:

    • Energy rises. You leave inspired and recharged.
    • New possibilities emerge. Your mind expands beyond previous limits.
    • Clarity and confidence grow. You gain a stronger sense of direction.

    It’s a riffing of ideas, a back-and-forth exchange where each insight sparks the next -momentum builds, and perspectives shift.

    For whom: This is not just another workshop. It’s a space for transformation, where founders engage in deep, thought-provoking dialogue that fuels both personal and business growth.

    For founders seeking inspiration & renewed energy, looking to expand their vision & challenge their thinking and those who want to engage in a thought-provoking, high-energy exchange.

    His view on Founders Alliance:

    "Founders Alliance could be the antidote to this ‘lostness’ - what would need to be true about your participation for you to feel truly found? What should happen in those rooms to make that a reality?"

    Founders Growth Workshop

    A general workshop to introduce founders to each other and dive deep into key areas of company development. The focus will be on exchange between participants' challenges and opportunities to scale and sustain businesses.

    Each of you will receive input and share experiences of your growth, including your operative companies and other engagements (investments, impact, and ownership) with input from others. Moderated by Niclas carlsson.

    Agenda

    1. Short Intro and Welcome: The workshop facilitator will welcome participants and introduce the workshop, and act as the moderator to ensure a great exchange for all participants.

    2. Participant Introductions and Input: Each participant will have time to introduce themselves and explain their number one challenge or opportunity for which they seek input from other founders.

    3. General Exchange on Key Challenges: An exchange on the key challenges identified during the introductions.

    Examples of Areas Covered in Earlier Founders Growth Workshops:

    • How to lead distributed organisations including merged/acquired companies
    • How to scale internationally and the role of the founder
    • Other ownership and engagements, such as investments in other firms
    • The business of doing good: our broader impact engagements within or outside our commercial companies
    • New innovation and what keeps me happy with entrepreneurship as a means: personal balance, health.

    Thank you, and get ready for the Business Unit Meets and Founders Dinner

    A few days before the workshop, you will get further details on who participate.
