Fear of failure can show up in all kinds of ways when you’re building a business: avoiding the sales call, hesitating to raise your prices, putting off the hire, or waiting for the “right” time to make the ask.
This month, we’re joined by expert Ashley Lucas. Ashley has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs throughout her career as a founder, co-founder, venture accelerator director, and educator. She also launched the Overcoming Fear of Failure Lab at Wentworth, a program designed to help women get unstuck and move toward their goals.
In this interactive session, Ashley will share practical techniques for recognizing fear when it shows up and moving through it instead of letting it make the decision for you. Together, we’ll break down a simple, strategic approach to stepping into unfamiliar territory with more confidence and less overthinking.
You’ll leave with practical tools to tackle the thing you’ve been putting off, make your next move, and bet on yourself.
Ashley has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs as a founder, co-founder, and venture accelerator director. In 2013, she was recruited to co-lead The Welcoming Committee, a startup offering national events and travel experiences, where she helped grow a Boston-based community of 2,000 into a membership base of 35,000 across ten cities. Four years later, she joined Babson College's Center for Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership (CWEL), where she ran the Women Innovating Now (WIN) Lab venture accelerator.
Today, she is the Executive Director of Accelerate, Wentworth's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, overseeing extracurricular initiatives that empower students to build businesses and develop an entrepreneurial mindset. There, she launched the Overcoming Fear of Failure Lab, a program that helps women get unstuck and move toward their goals.
