Breaking Barriers Dinner: Acclimating to Discomfort

Growth rarely comes from staying comfortable, and yet, as entrepreneurs, we’re constantly navigating uncertainty, tension, and stretch moments that test us both personally and professionally.

This upcoming Breaking Barriers Dinner invites EO members into a candid, confidential conversation around “Acclimating to Discomfort.” Together, we’ll explore what it really looks like to sit with discomfort instead of avoiding it, how discomfort shows up in leadership and life, and the practices that help us grow steadier and more self-aware when things feel hard.

Moderated by longtime member Maria Kingery, expect an intimate, forum-style evening with honest dialogue, shared experiences, and the kind of peer connection that reminds you you’re not navigating growth alone.

If you’re in a season of stretch — or simply want to build more resilience for what’s next — this dinner is for you. Come curious, come open, and come ready for meaningful conversation.
