Confidence build to last (for Founders & Start-up Operators) - Deep Work x Factory Berlin

Confidence build to last: A Deep Work Session for Founder & Start-up Operators ✨ Do you look like you have it handled, but you're not always sure what's actually holding it up? Then this session is for you. Together with Factory Berlin, we invite you to look at what your sense of worth is actually resting on, understand what shapes your confidence under pressure, and build tools for a more stable internal foundation for your leadership and personal life. In this 2h workshop, you'll examine what your confidence is really built on, spot what cracks under pressure, and leave with tools for a foundation that doesn't reset to zero every time a deal falls through or a metric dips. Together with other founders, operators, investors and tech professionals, you'll get space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what holds you back. Hosted by: Adrian Wangerin, psychologist (M.Sc.) and coach based in Berlin. He works with high performers and leaders on the space between self-worth and performance — perfectionism, the inner critic, and the quiet cost of never quite feeling enough. 🧭 What to expect: ✅ An honest, psychology-grounded look at what's actually driving you ✅ Two practical exercises you can use the same week ✅ Real conversation with others navigating the same pressure You'll be guided through: The Four Pillars of Self-Worth: see which parts of your foundation are solid, and which wobble under pressure. The Whole Self Map: map the parts of your identity that live outside of work, and notice which ones have gone quiet. 👀 Who is this for? Founders, operators, investors, freelancers and tech professionals who look like they have it handled, and want a couple of hours to check what's actually holding it up. 💥 What you'll take away: A clearer read on what stabilises and what destabilises your self-worth A base to stand on that doesn't depend on your last result Language for the inner critic that's been running the show quietly 📅 Date: Thursday, 27th of August 2026, 7PM-9PM 📍 Location: Factory Berlin, Rheinsberger Str. 76/77, 10115 Berlin
