5% reflections

"5% Reflections" are moments during EO forum meetings where members share the most personal and intimate experiences, which usually represent the 5% of their lives they rarely speak about publicly. It is a space for honest, deep dialogue, allowing for strong relationships and mutual support within the group of entrepreneurs, both professionally and personally.

Each forum member prepares their "5% Reflections" in the form of a simple table.

Below you will find some examples of such tables.
