SUMMARY:BIFA YFN - Anglia Region - Failing Forward\, Lessons for Success
DESCRIPTION:Failing Forward\, Lessons for Success \nThe next BIFA YFN Anglia region event will take place on Wednesday 21st May\, 1515\, at Suffolk New College in Ipswich\, when our guest speaker will be Jon Swallow\, founder and chief executive of Jordan Freight. \nJon\, who is an employer governor of the Young Forwarder Network\, left school at 16 and bailing on college\, started a Youth Training Scheme as a dock runner\, then tried customs\, seafreight and finally settled in European transport… or so he thought. Sometimes your career goals just don’t materialise. \nIn 1999 Jon started Jordon Freight with his business partner Roddy.  Despite a very difficult start and subsequent near catastrophes\, the company is now in its 25th year and continues to grow. \nDuring the event\, Jon will explain how the setbacks he faced were not failures as they appeared at the time\, but looking back\, vital lessons for success in disguise. And now\, faced with the continual challenges of a growing company\, he reframes failure and setbacks much quicker as something positive. \nIf sometimes you don’t feel confident to go after what you want for fear of failure or have failed hard in the past and felt its effects long after\, Jon hopes to offer some insights on how to position failure not as a final event\, but as the path to success. By staying in the game\, you are sure to win! \nRegister now\, don’t miss out on this unique networking event\, we hope to see you there! \n  \nAgenda: \n1515    Arrival & registration \n1545    Welcome and YFN Overview \n1550    Networking \n1600    Presentation from guest speaker\, Jon Swallow \n1630    Q&A \n1645    BIFA Update \n1700    Networking \n1730    Close \n  \nDrinks will be available at the college. Continue networking afterwards at a nearby bar – first round is on us! \nThe BIFA Young Forwarder Network events provide a fantastic opportunity to network and build lasting relationships with fellow members. \nPlaces are limited so secure your place via Eventbrite HERE and don’t forget to save this event in your calendar. \n
