Join us to celebrate International Women’s Day 2021 #ChooseToChallenge #IWD2021

About this Event

A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change.

Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.

We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias, discrimination and stereotypes.

We can choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements.

Collectively, we can create an inclusive and more gender-equal world.

From challenge comes change, so let’s all choose to challenge.

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.

International Women’s Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.

If you feel like traditional goal setting just doesn’t work for you, you’re not alone.

If you’ve ever scribbled down big business goals in January and promptly forgotten them by February (say hello again to to-do list chaos) this webinar is for you.

This webinar isn’t about vision boards, intentions or vague affirmations. It’s a real-world session for real-life business owners, the kind who wear all the hats, juggle all the tasks. It’s for those who want their business to support their life, not swallows it whole.

In this you will:

• Learn why most goal setting advice doesn’t work for Solopreneurs (and what to do instead)
• Get crystal clear on what you actually want from your business in the next 3, 6, and 12 months
• Create simple, strategic goals that are achievable and motivating
• Break your goals down into manageable actions that fit into your week (not your fantasy schedule)
• Learn how to review, adjust, and stick to your goals without losing momentum or beating yourself up
• 
  

This isn’t about hustle or hype. It’s about clarity, focus, and building your version of success step by step, month by month.

This is perfect for solopreneurs who want to:

• Stop winging it and start working with a plan
• Make steady, meaningful progress in their business
• Set goals that take life into account — not just business

The East Anglia Clean & Green Awards honour businesses, individuals, and communities making meaningful strides in sustainability. From energy innovation to eco-friendly farming, recycling, and community-led initiatives, there’s an award for everyone—whether you’re a large company, a small business, or an individual championing a greener future. 

We are delighted that the East Anglia Clean & Green Awards have returned for its second year – accepting entries from businesses from across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk.

Is your business leading the way in sustainability, environmental responsibility, or green innovation? It’s time to get recognised.

The awards opened for entries on Wednesday 10 September. We have 11 categories open for entry, of which we will accept entries up until midnight on Sunday 9 November. Judging will then take place which involves round 1 based on your submission, then round two organised meetings so our two judges per category can judge further against the set category criteria.

Finalists will then be advised of their standing mid January 2026, with the public announcement on Wednesday 25 February 2026.

The glittering awards event will take place on Thursday 26th March 2026, at the stunning Kesgrave Hall, Ipswich, Suffolk.

Will we wake up on July 5th in a de facto one-party state or will the opinion polls have overstated the margin of victory – again?

Whatever happens, it looks like Labour will be the majority party but it’s also possible that some of the smaller parties will have enough seats to come together to bring a meaningful influence on policy. It could be an interesting time – and I didn’t think I’d be writing that about a Starmer government!

Join us on the 10th July when we’ll be rummaging beyond the election rhetoric to pick apart the likely impact of Labour’s plans and looking at what they mean for you. Spoiler alert – it’s not all bad news!

We’ll also take the opportunity to stand further back and look at what’s been driving markets this year, wondering whether, in a world where the UK is now only around 4% of global investment markets, does our election really matter?

This is an online session. A link will be sent to you shortly before the event.
