Summary
When you start something new, you wear every hat — creator, marketer, bookkeeper, problem-solver. But at some point, growth requires a shift: from running the thing to leading the thing.
In this session, Learn Better founder Sarah Welsh shares the real story behind starting her company — the messy middle of building something from scratch, trusting her zone of genius, and learning to lead beyond her comfort zone. Through honest storytelling and interactive reflection, participants will explore how imagination, purpose, and humility fuel a founder’s evolution from operator to visionary.

- Zone of Genius + Purpose = Alignment: Discovering the intersection between what you’re best at and what the world needs.
- The Power of “Not Knowing”: How being uncomfortable and surrounding yourself with people who know more accelerates growth.
- Avoiding Narrow Vision: Staying open to unexpected opportunities that shape your company in better ways than you planned.
- Learning from Others: How connection, mentorship, and community help you scale yourself before you scale your business.
