In this powerful fireside chat, executive coach and board director Laurie Fuller pulls back the curtain on what really holds entrepreneurs back: The heroic instinct to do it all, the exhaustion of constant firefighting, and the silence that comes when there’s no one to challenge your thinking. Drawing on stories from entrepreneurs, Laurie reveals the practical habits that turn busy operators into strategic leaders. She’ll also unpack why governance and board readiness aren’t just for large corporations, they’re the hidden levers that create accountability, attract capital, and allow companies to grow beyond the individual at the top.
