　　Entrepreneurial Confidence and Communication Program made significant impact on student founders

　　创业信心与沟通计划对学生创业者产生重大影响

　　CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 10, 2019 – Anxiety and depression are common among entrepreneurs, who often dedicate all aspects of life to their startups. To address this issue, the MIT Sloan School of Management’s delta v accelerator launched the Entrepreneurial Confidence and Communication (ECC) Program last summer to help student entrepreneurs prioritize their own individual well-being while building their businesses. Measuring the results, the accelerator found significant improvements among participants in the adoption of self-awareness practices and tools to manage stress.

　　2019年12月10日，剑桥，焦虑和抑郁在企业家中很普遍，他们常常把生活的各个方面奉献给初创企业。为了解决这个问题，麻省理工学院斯隆管理学院的delta v加速器在去年夏天启动了创业信心与沟通（ECC）计划，帮助学生创业者在创业的同时优先考虑自己的个人福祉。通过测量结果，加速器发现参与者在采用自我意识实践和工具来管理压力方面有了显著的改进。

　　“The culture of entrepreneurship for the last 10-20 years has required 24-7 work to show your passion and dedication. Founders’ self-identity is often tied to the success of their startup. As a result, entrepreneurs often experience loneliness, depression, and anxiety, but lack the support and tools to improve their mental well-being,” saidTrish Cotter, executive director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship and director of the delta v accelerator. “The ECC Program is the first entrepreneurship program to help student founders address these issues and to provide data on the results.”

　　“过去10-20年的创业文化需要24-7天的工作来展现你的激情和奉献精神。创业者的自我认同往往与创业的成功息息相关。结果，创业者常常经历孤独、抑郁和焦虑，但缺乏支持和工具来改善他们的心理健康。“麻省理工学院创业的马丁信托中心执行董事、Delta V加速器主任saidTrish Cotter说。“ECC计划是第一个帮助学生创业者解决这些问题并提供成果数据的创业计划。” 在线咨询

　　The goal of the 12-week ECC Program was for the cohort of 84 delta v undergraduate, graduate, PhD and post-doctoral students and team members to develop a greater understanding of themselves so they could make better choices for themselves and their startups.

　　为期12周的幼儿保育和教育计划的目标是让84名德尔塔v大学的本科生、研究生、博士生和博士后以及团队成员更好地了解自己，以便他们能够为自己和初创企业做出更好的选择。

　　Kathleen Stetson, the program’s creator and an MIT Sloan MBA alumna, said, “The uncertainty and risk inherent in entrepreneurship make stress almost inevitable, but cultivating self-awareness through practices like meditation and mindfulness can help entrepreneurs be less affected by that stress, enabling more effective decision-making.”

　　该项目的创始人、麻省理工学院斯隆商学院的Kathleen Stetson说：“创业精神中存在的不确定性和风险使压力几乎不可避免，但通过冥想和正念等方法培养自我意识，可以帮助创业者减少压力，从而更有效地进行决策。”

　　In the first six weeks, participants were taught the tools and benefits of self-awareness. In the second six weeks, they applied their learnings, discussing key choices entrepreneurs face, such as: taking breaks vs. spending all your time on your startup, working through limiting beliefs, considering others’ perspectives, and approaching challenges with fear or curiosity. Participants learned through readings, optional group meditation, and small-group sessions, where they could vent and get feedback on challenges they were facing in a confidential setting.

　　在最初的六周里，参与者被教导了自我意识的工具和好处。在接下来的六周里，他们运用自己学到的知识，讨论创业者面临的关键选择，比如：休息和把所有时间花在创业上，通过有限的信念工作，考虑他人的观点，以恐惧或好奇心应对挑战。参与者通过阅读、可选的小组冥想和小组讨论来学习，在那里他们可以发泄并获得在保密环境中所面临挑战的反馈。 在线咨询

　　“We surveyed participants before and after the program, and we are thrilled by the results. Participants didn’t just learn that self-awareness practice can benefit them – they decided to implement it on a regular basis in their own lives, and it had a measurable effect on their well-being,” said Stetson.

　　“我们在项目前后对参与者进行了调查，结果让我们很兴奋。参与者不仅了解到自我意识练习对他们有好处，他们还决定在自己的生活中定期进行自我意识练习，这对他们的幸福感产生了可衡量的影响。

　　A comparison of surveys conducted before and after the program, with 60 participants responding, shows that at the end of the program:

　　对项目前后进行的60名参与者的调查进行了比较，结果显示，项目结束时：

　　88% had independently established their own regular, weekly meditation or mindfulness practice. Before the program, 65% had never meditated, and only 21% were regularly practicing meditation or mindfulness. 53% were more frequently utilizing a conscious tool to work through stress. 100% of the optional ECC one-on-one sessions were utilized, which reflects willingness to ask for help. 40% were more aware of their emotions. 34% of those who had established a meditation or mindfulness practice by the end of the program were more confident in their communications. 93% felt that self-awareness practice can help entrepreneurs create more successful businesses.

　　88%的人独立建立了自己的定期，每周冥想或正念练习。在这个项目之前，65%的人从未冥想过，只有21%的人经常练习冥想或正念。53%的人更经常使用有意识的工具来应对压力。100%的可选幼儿保育和教育一对一会议得到利用，这反映了寻求帮助的意愿。40%的人更清楚自己的情绪。34%的人在课程结束前建立了冥想或正念练习，他们对自己的交流更有信心。93%的人认为，自我意识实践可以帮助企业家创造更成功的企业。 在线咨询

　　“Understanding yourself is essential to managing stress and it is a skill that can be taught. Mindfulness and meditation have proven positive effects in other industries, and now we have data that shows they can be significantly beneficial to founders and their team members. We believe that integrating self-awareness into the entrepreneurial experience will help prevent burnout, encourage better mental and physical health, and create better team dynamics. It’s great for entrepreneurs, and it could be great for their startups’ bottom line too,” said Stetson.

　　“了解你自己是管理压力的关键，这是一项可以传授的技能。正念和冥想在其他行业已经被证明有积极的效果，现在我们有数据显示，它们对创始人和他们的团队成员有显著的益处。我们相信，将自我意识融入创业经验将有助于防止倦怠，鼓励更好的身心健康，并创造更好的团队动力。这对创业者来说是很好的，也可能对他们的创业公司的底线很好，”斯特森说。

　　Cotter noted that “it’s valuable to learn this skill in school, where students have support. The ECC Program provides a unique opportunity to learn before students go into the real world. We want to start founders off on the right foot, and hopefully they will spread a self-awareness movement across the entrepreneurial ecosystem.”

　　科特指出，“在学校里学习这项技能是很有价值的，因为学校里有学生的支持。幼儿保育和教育计划提供了一个独特的机会，在学生进入现实世界之前学习。我们想让创业者们从正途起步，希望他们能在整个创业生态系统中传播一场自我意识运动。”

　　She added, “MIT Sloan is one of the first schools to integrate self-awareness into entrepreneurship education. This program is a significant step forward and a differentiator for the delta v accelerator.”

　　她补充道：“麻省理工斯隆学院是首批将自我意识融入创业教育的学校之一。这一计划是delta v加速器向前迈出的重要一步，也是一个与众不同的地方。”
