Enjoy a morning of networking over breakfast and hear from our guest speaker, Paul Ward of Solace Coaching. Solace Coaching was founded in 2015 by Paul, a personal development coach with experience working with a variety of clients both in business and on a personal basis. Paul has an extensive background in management, both in-role and on an advisory basis. If you know motivates you, then why aren’t you doing it? Whether you are running your own business or working within one the chances are you chose to do what you are doing. However, do you have days when motivation just seems out of reach? Why is that? What is going on? If you know what does and what doesn’t motivate you, it puts you in control of the way in which you see your world. If you have control, then you become response-able regarding how you feel even when dealing with the more challenging tasks required of you.

Floyd Sayers, Flomotion
I’ve spent over 20 years in the creative Industries based in London, working in graphic design, photography, packaging, product development and art direction. Seadragon Publishing a card, stationery and gift company evolved after our move to Norwich 12 years ago. For the past 3 years we have been promoting active working through Flomotion. Louise is an award winning interior designer on a mission to improve people’s lives through interior design. While taking time out from designing to raise her family, Louise fell ill from post natal depression and anxiety. During the time spent battling these illnesses Louise realised the huge impact your internal environment can have on your health and well being. When starting to research deeper into the field, her studies led her to Biophilic design. Starting with her home, she set about creating a sanctuary which would help reduce her depression, lower her stress levels and increase her sense of well being. After her recovery and realisation of the growing mental health crisis, Louise identified a way to help others through interior design. She changed the focus of her design business to incorporate proven design methodology to create a holistic approach to interior spaces.Interested in taking an exhibition stand at a business breakfast and showcasing the work your business is doing?
