Who is eligible to participate in this study?
I am recruiting entrepreneurs aged 18 and older for a research study. The study is titled “Kemetic Mindfulness for Entrepreneurs.” If you meet any of the following criteria, you are welcome to participate:
1) students involved in educational programs to boost their entrepreneurial skills
2) early-stage entrepreneurs just starting out
3) established entrepreneurs
What do I have to do to participate in this study?
The 8-week program explores whether exposure to Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) concepts, yoga, and meditation: 1) impacts entrepreneurs’ wellbeing by offering tools for emotional regulation and practicing stress management and 2) increases entrepreneurs’ Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation by enhancing their innovativeness, risk tolerance, and proactiveness. If you agree to participate you will be asked to:
➔ sign an informed consent (15 minutes)
➔ attend a weekly Zoom session live or recorded where participants will engage in a discussion of Kemetic concepts, practice Kemetic yoga, and sit in meditation (90 minutes per session) 2022 study dates are TBD.
➔ complete an entry and exit survey (15 minutes each)
➔ submit a daily journal (10-11 minutes daily)
➔ submit a weekly check-in survey (15 minutes per week)
The total time of your participation is expected to be approximately 3 hours per week for 8 weeks. There is no compensation for participating in the study, but you may benefit by regularly participating in the mindfulness practices.
