<p>This workshop, led by <a href="https://linkedin.com/in/nikkiblacksmith" title="https://linkedin.com/in/nikkiblacksmith" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr. Nikki Blacksmith</a>, reframes team building as a core leadership skill essential for entrepreneurial success. Participants will learn how to assess their own strengths, identify the skills they need in others, and strategically build a network of future co-founders and key hires. Rather than focusing on HR or legal structures, the session provides a tactical, data-driven framework for understanding the human element of entrepreneurship. With Dr. Blacksmith’s expertise as a scientist-practitioner and CEO of Symeta Behavior Science, students will gain actionable tools to navigate the chaos of early venture building and set themselves up for long-term success.&nbsp;</p>
