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.
