We’re delighted to invite you to a webinar on Tuesday 5 July 2022 at 10.00am, jointly hosted with PwC.
In this session, we will share insights from the latest Demos-PwC Good Growth for Cities report, which looks at how well positioned the 50 largest UK towns and cities are for a recovery and what steps the Government, businesses and local leaders can take together to drive Good Growth for all.
We will do a deep dive on the data for Norfolk – which places 6th overall when measured against the priorities chosen by the public. The report looks beyond economic indicators, and focuses on additional measures of wellbeing, such as access to jobs, income, health, skills and work-life balance.
The session will be chaired by our COO Nova Fairbank, with speakers from PwC include Simon de Young Cambridge Market Senior Partner and Paddy Schmidt, Economics Consultant, and Lauren Dilrew.
We hope you will be able to join us to explore the opportunities, and challenges and explore collectively how we can make a difference in Norfolk and the surrounding areas.

Many of you have told us that you cannot wait to get back to meeting people face-to-face again and we have listened. We are working on a series of small, social distanced in person networking events*, where you can get outside and start meeting new people in real life! This is the first of (hopefully) many exclusive networking events and with your wellbeing being so important than ever before, what better way to give it a boost than by learning a new sport (paddleboarding), networking with fellow business professionals on the Norfolk Boards and interacting in a fun way. Setting off from Horning, Boards on the Broads is an in-person networking event that is good for you, good for your business and good for local charity. All proceeds that are raised from these fun networking sessions with a difference will be donated to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices.
Who’s it for?
Business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, young businesses and anyone who wants to connect and engage with other businesses in the Norfolk area.

We only have a maximum of six places on this event. As all funds are being donated to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices we won’t be able to offer you a refund but can move your booking onto one of the other dates. Please notify us if you are no longer able to attend in writing to [email protected]

A love of the water, a chilled sundowner and a good old natter is what brought Liz and Katie together and has helped shape what Go Paddle is all about. Their paths to getting here have been wildly different but getting to meet new folk and share the pretty awesome Norfolk Broads by paddle is now what they do best.
What to wear
• As a general rule we say to dress for the weather. Quick drying clothes are the best (and avoid cottons/jeans as they can be uncomfortable when wet) If its chilly we have a small selection of wetsuits for hire. If you have your own wetsuit/rash vests – then bring them. • For your feet we suggest old footwear (ideally flip flops) to wear on the riverside.
*We are doing everything we can to bring you this event in September by following government COVID guidelines. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic we may have to cancel this event at short notice if circumstances arise that are out of our control. Please also note that this event will be postponed should we have extremely bad weather conditions which will make this activity unsafe.

Rejection is one of the greatest barriers to success. Whether you’re pitching your business, negotiating deals, or pursuing personal goals. This workshop transforms rejection into a tool for growth and resilience, helping you break free from patterns of fear and self-doubt that may be holding you back.
In this interactive session, you’ll explore:
What is Rejection Therapy?: Understanding the concept and why desensitising yourself to rejection can be a gamechanger for your confidence and decision making.
The Psychology of Rejection, Learned Helplessness, and Money Blocks: Discover how repeated setbacks can lead to self-limiting beliefs, creating mental barriers to success, particularly around money. Learn how rejection ties into scarcity mindsets and how to overcome these blocks.
Practical Techniques to Seek Rejection: Actionable methods to embrace discomfort, take risks, and grow through challenge based exercises.
Building Resilience in Business and Beyond: Master reframing, detachment, and other resilience-building tools to turn rejection into opportunity.
Group Challenges and Sharing: Take part in activities and discussions to practice skills and share experiences.
You’ll leave this workshop equipped with strategies to face rejection, reframe setbacks, and identify and dismantle beliefs that may be sabotaging your financial and personal growth.
About our Presenter
StacyBradley is a Social Entrepreneur with a passion for personal development and psychology. Her commitment to growth has led to incredible opportunities over the years, but she has also recognised moments where a fear of rejection may have led to missed opportunities.
In early 2024, Stacy made a commitment to embrace rejection therapy. A practice that has challenged her to push past her limits and unapologetically ask for what she truly wants in life, and business. Beyond the surprising successes of her requests, rejection therapy has reshaped Stacy’s outlook, strengthened her confidence, and unlocked a new belief in her own abilities.
Now, Stacy is excited to share her journey and tools with you, helping you live more boldly, face rejection fearlessly, and unlock your true potential.
