The study attempted to answer the question “Can the entrepreneurship competencies of a student be enhanced through self-leadership & mindfulness training”. The study was based on the idea that mindfulness and self-leadership training may aid in developing entrepreneurial characteristics. In connection, SLEM Academy is an Erasmus+ initiative that fosters entrepreneurial skills in high school and university students via cooperation with high schools and universities in Albania, Croatia, Finland, and Liechtenstein. It teaches students how to set and accomplish healthy goals in a focused and adaptive way and learn from their experiences. This research study is a part of the SLEM Academy.
