<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> - For group exercises, the experience level of participants will be mixed : some will be new to entrepreneurship, while others may have some or even extensive experience. In line with best practices for innovation and entrepreneurship, the best outcomes occur when there are varied perspectives and a diversity of minds. We need all participants to be ready to learn from others, no matter what their level or background, and to help others learn as well.</span></span></div>
