EPS 1001: Transformation Through Entrepreneurial Leadership
3 Credits course for Humanities and Entrepreneurship Certificate Students Only
The Transformation Through Entrepreneurial Leadership course cultivates core career and life skills by helping students transform their self-perception and agency by developing an entrepreneurial mindset that supports their ability to overcome challenges and seize opportunities.
The course helps students understand how entrepreneurial thinking and acting can enable them to become an entrepreneurial leader while defining their unique strengths and capabilities based on their self-identified value systems.
The course is experientially-based, providing students with feedback and an opportunity to build and reflect on their individual entrepreneurial leadership skills. Students will engage in interactive sessions with Babson faculty and be supported by Babson students; work on an individual entrepreneurial leadership project; and discover how Babson’s entrepreneurship methodology, Entrepreneurial Thought and Action® (ET&A), applies to their individual entrepreneurial journey.
This course is offered over 12 weeks with classes held in person once a week for three hours. Students will discover that being an entrepreneur goes deeper than developing a business. In the first part of the course, they will build upon what they learned in “The Art of the Self” course as they further explore how they can cultivate their entrepreneurial abilities, passions, and strengths.
As they discover what inspires them, students will learn about the United Nations Global Goals and how those connect to their own lives and to opportunities in the market. They will strengthen their ability to solve problems through Babson’s ET&A® methodology and discover how these skills connect to opportunities they can secure once they venture out. Through support, they will learn how to create the story of self, seeing themselves as entrepreneurs with experience and expertise to address real world problems. The course concludes with students’ final deliverable, a presentation of their transformed personal narrative as an entrepreneurial leader capable of creating social impact.
