Join SL Martin and Gordon Eichhorst in discussion with special guests for a discussion on founder life with relatable and insightful content.
Impact Central is an accelerator and mentor network which supports founders committed to creating businesses that rebuild our society and environment. And we want to use this showcase show you some great examples!
Have you written resolutions and broken them all by lunchtime on Jan 1st?
Perhaps you enjoy vision board workshops but get distracted by June?
This workshop will not only give you a plan, but the tools and habit forming techniques to ensure your 2022 starts with a bounce and continues to flourish.
Collaboration is business critical; successful collaboration leads to better quality, more original outputs, improved productivity and people enjoying their work. But just when we need it most, collaboration has taken a real hit. The trust and connection on which it depends doesn’t come as naturally when we’re on video calls all day or having to navigate a hybrid format. Now that hybrid working is here to stay, companies need to find new and effective ways to collaborate.
You’ll come away with:
– An understanding of how hybrid collaboration works
– A model for creating and facilitating collaborations that support your specific goals
– An understanding of how to make the technology work for you rather than getting in your way
– Exercises, tools and techniques to improve your team’s productivity and performance
– The skills to optimise hybrid collaboration by encouraging and managing behaviours
– Curve’s Collaboration Canvas to help you design your ways of working
– An output document that captures all of the learnings for you to share with your team

Susan Laurie uses her own experience to help people become more mindful about alcohol and drinking. She is not anti alcohol, but wants others to be aware of the things that she wishes she had known. Following university Susan had a successful career in marketing in the pharmaceutical industry and was then an entrepreneur with her own company, before succumbing to a serious drinking problem. This escalated to a life-threatening situation, despite many attempts at familiar interventions including counselling, rehab and Alcoholics Anonymous. After her recovery, she wrote the book ‘From Rock Bottom To Sober Forever’, which has provided inspiration and hope to thousands of people and has been praised for the exceptional account of the stealth-like progression of alcohol addiction, and she uses her unique experience to help people avoid alcohol becoming problematic.

Dedicated bandwidth guarantees access to a fixed amount of bandwidth which is unaffected by increased usage of other businesses in the building.
Our standard offering for dedicated internet access is as follows:
10 Mbps – £250 per month & £500 installation fees
25 Mbps – £350 per month & £500 installation fees
50 Mbps – £450 per month & £500 installation fees

Session Overview
Breathing is the only way that we can consciously control our autonomic nervous system, it has the power to calm us down, wake us up, pull us out of a funk, help us sleep better, feel better, manage emotion better and generally get better at this old thing called life. In this session, Lucy will give you a brief introduction into the magic of breathing properly but rather than just stick with the science, you’ll also dive into a few breath practices which you can use to give yourself an energy boost, help you sleep at night and help you get centred before that big pitch at work. The secret is all in the nose.
About Lucy
Lucy spent close to 10 years working in sales on the trading floor at two US investment banks but made the difficult decision back in 2020 to take a leap into the unknown and start over again which she wrote (and embarrassingly went viral) about here. Having secretly struggled with the pressures of juggling corporate life with a drive to find purpose, she spent a lot of time on her commutes diving into the world of self development, eastern philosophy and psychology in an effort to better manage her mind & find some sense of purpose. This journey led her to qualify as a yoga teacher back in 2019 whilst she was still working in finance and then subsequently as a Reiki practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, Ayurvedic consultant & coach. She is now working as a transformational coach, helping people transform their thinking, and in turn their lives, through deep guided self-reflection blended with bodywork, yoga & breath.
