We would be delighted if you are able to join us for our next CPD seminar:

Investing in the New World Order

Towards a better understanding of investment risks and rewards after the financial crisis

Wednesday 16th April 8.15am or 12.15pm

Henderson Business Centre, Norwich

The crisis of 2007/8 laid bare fundamental shortcomings in the assumptions underlying much of the world’s financial systems. Investors found themselves faced with new and unfamiliar risks that demanded a more considered and better researched response. This seminar looks at investment theory in the light of the financial crisis and, by offering greater insight into where genuine value can be added, suggests ways investors can better evaluate the balance between risk and return.

The session will be of interest to investors and their advisers. Each seminar will qualify for 1.5hours of SRA accredited CPD

We expect each session to last around an hour and a half with a further 30 minutes for questions and discussion. A light lunch or breakfast will be available. The seminar is free of charge but places are limited.

For more information and to register visit www.chadwicks.co.uk or call me on 01603 251687.

PROGRAMME:

8.30 am Networking and breakfast

9.30 am What makes a person successful? Discover the key differences between thosewho

make itand those that don’t. 45 mins

10.15 am ‘Help build your confidence’. Mark gives advice on how to put the ‘CAN’ in ‘CAN DO’

15 mins

10.30 am ‘Walk the talk’ – have fun and oput into practice what you have just heard. A

quickand effective chance at problem solving which gets you ‘learning by doing’ – so

you’ll go away from the session with valuable new skills you’ve already practiced.

30 mins

11.00 am Mark talks about idea generation and final thoughts. How do people come up with

ideas? What strategies are there for idea generation? 15 – 20 mins

Mark shows businesses how to massively improve their results with little or no extra effort! He has “been there and done it” from the ground up with his own Internet Software company that he started, built and then sold to a USA Silicon Valley organisation.

His clients included top name brands like The Body Shop at home, Virgin Cosmetics and Dorling Kindersley Publishers.

On selling his company Mark retired at the age of 35 for 15 minutes before he got bored! He then went on to figure out how he had become successful and now spends his time teaching others so they can achieve their own dreams.

Mark’s focus is on what he believes to be one of the most crucial aspects of whether someone achieves success or not – their “Success Mindset” as well as the essential topics of “Winning More Sales and Exceeding Business Goals”

Mark makes everything so easy to understand and implement, his natural down to earth style and the fact that he teaches the exact same tools and techniques that he uses everyday in his own business is a refreshing change.

He is also the author of “Think YourWay to Success” published in 2012 by Capstone/John Wiley.

An event that promises to offer the audience a glamorous black tie evening of entertainment, fuelled with adrenaline and excitement. Originating in the legendary Gleason’s gym in New York in 1988 the first contest held between Dr Richard Novak an attorney and Dr David Lawrence who held a PhD in English literature.

Some years later the White Collar Boxing event came to the UK to see a team of city banker’s inflicting corporate punishment on each other following only a 10 week training programme. Contestants will exchange their usual ‘day time’ white collar and don shorts, skimpy vests and mouth guards as they ‘face off’ in the ring, each contestant hoping to become our first champion and lift the coveted Roar belt. This tantalising evening will provide an electric atmosphere complemented by a three course meal, a live auction hosted by a celebrity auctioneer and fun packed betting opportunities.

Regular

• Table of Ten £750.00

Ringside

• Per ticket £100.00
