“You can confidently project your best. Prepare. Practice. Believe.”
Those words opened DLE President and Founder Linda Dulye’s fourth training session with emerging entrepreneurs in the EforAll Berkshire County’s 2022 Business Accelerator Program.
Linda has volunteered her time and techniques to lead in-person and virtual training sessions with more than 100 participants in the immersive program that provides business classes, mentors and support tools for business start-ups.
In recognizing Linda’s continued support, EforAll Berkshire County Executive Director Deborah Gallant said, “Linda’s partnership with the EforAll Berkshire County organization grows with her return to the 2022 Business Accelerator Program as a volunteer coach. More than a dozen budding entrepreneurs learn Linda’s techniques for conveying their passion and projecting their best during their final presentations to program judges. It’s an energizing experience!”
Members of the latest cohort include Lara Tupper, who is launching Swift Ink Stories. Lara expressed, at the conclusion of Linda’s training, that she felt “re-energized about my business” and added that she is “remaining connected to the origin story of my business.”
Linda’s stories of setbacks that she experienced in growing her consulting firm, Dulye & Co., as well as those experienced by Linda’s parents, who were both entrepreneurs, especially resonated with Lara. “Setbacks will happen – this is a necessary reminder for me. And it keeps me authentic,” she noted.
