Build Confidence & Make Better Decisions

Live Founder Q&A with Hayley Cooper & Ylorie Taylor
Join two experienced founders for an interactive conversation on confidence, decision-making, and moving forward when the path ahead isn’t completely clear.
Founder Confidence & Decision-Making in an Uncertain World

One of the hardest parts of entrepreneurship isn’t launching a business. It’s making decisions when you don’t have all the information, navigating uncertainty, and continuing to move forward despite self-doubt.

Many founders spend valuable time second-guessing themselves, overthinking decisions, or waiting for perfect clarity before taking action. The reality is that confidence often doesn’t come before action—it grows through it.

At the same time, founders are constantly balancing competing priorities, making difficult choices, and carrying responsibility for their businesses, teams, and futures. Learning how to trust your judgment becomes one of the most important leadership skills you can develop.

Join us for a candid and practical conversation with two experienced founders who help entrepreneurs build confidence, gain clarity, and make decisions with intention.

We’ll explore the realities of founder decision-making, overcoming self-doubt, navigating career and business transitions, and building momentum when certainty isn’t available.

Bring your questions, challenges, and experiences. This session is designed to be interactive, honest, and grounded in real founder journeys.
