Resilient Entrepreneur Program® · An ISM Signature Program
Build for change.
Move forward stronger.
A hands-on experience that helps students and business leaders respond to uncertainty, rethink what is possible, and turn disruption into a practical plan.
Resilience, made practical
Not simply bouncing back. Learning how to move forward differently.
REP helps participants take inventory, understand what changed, and decide what to do next. The work stays grounded in real choices, real numbers, and a plan they can use.
The REP experience
Four chapters. One forward-moving plan.
The curriculum is flexible, but the experience stays focused on the questions that matter when circumstances shift.
How am I responding?
Build the awareness and leadership habits that make adaptation possible.
What can I work with?
Identify strengths, resources, possible offers, and ideas worth testing.
What does the plan require?
Connect operations, marketing, sales, financials, and funding needs.
What happens next?
Set priorities, finalize the plan, practice the pitch, and act.
The signature tool
The Canvas keeps every conversation connected to action.
Participants work directly in the REP Canvas and workbook throughout the experience. Each session adds clarity to the plan rather than adding more theory.
More than a course
A complete learning environment.
REP participants work with practical tools that help them move from reflection to action. The experience combines planning technology, guided materials, and a shared learning environment so the work continues beyond each session.
Planning technology
ISM’s AI powered business planning tool with market research, strategy prompts, and financial projection support.
Book + workbook
Printed and digital materials turn each topic into guided exercises, prompts, and next-step decisions.
Online community
A shared space for participants, instructors, and guest speakers to continue the conversation between sessions.
These materials are meant to work together, giving participants structure during the program and something practical to return to after each session.
For colleges and community partners
