The four relationships that run your company. For founders, powered by MoMo
Every company runs on its founder's relationships: with yourself, with your patterns, with others and with the world around you. Most founders pour their days into product, numbers and the next round, leaving these essential relationships to chance until something cracks.
Spend an afternoon with Liudmiła Gapeyeva, researcher in entrepreneurial well-being and co-founder of Homo Liudens, alongside other founders and practise four tools you can use the next day.
Liudmiła creates AHA moments through play, art and freedom, so expect to move, try things out and discover something new about yourself.
Tool 1: Your relationship with yourself.
Learn to recognise and work with your emotions with clarity and compassion, especially when navigating uncertainty and pressure.
Tool 2: Your relationship with your patterns.
Map where your energy actually goes in a founder's week, discover what fills you up and what drains you and identify one practical change to create a healthier balance.
Tool 3: Your relationship with others.
Practise giving constructive feedback that builds trust rather than defensiveness. Learn to express what you observe, explain its impact and make clear, actionable requests that strengthen collaboration with your team, co-founders and investors.
Tool 4: Your relationship with the world around you.
Discover why what we say is not always what others hear. Explore the four sides of communication and practise recognising the different messages behind words. Learn to prevent misunderstandings, listen more deeply and navigate challenging conversations with greater awareness and confidence.
MoMo Companion picks up the thread. Your insights, your energy map and your next steps stay with you and MoMo brings them back on the days the week takes over.
What you will leave with:
A simple way to work with emotions under pressure
A map of your energy patterns and one change to rebalance them
A constructive feedback practice for your team, co-founders and investors
A new perspective on communication to listen more deeply, avoid misunderstandings and navigate difficult conversations
