Hard Love @ The Foundling Museum: A Breakfast Briefing

In Art, Business on January 26, 2010 at 12:01 pm

“Hard Love @ The Foundling Museum or How to Love Your Business Through Good & Bad Times”

Thursday 11th February, 8am to 10am, The Foundling Museum, Brunswick Square, WC1 (nearest tube King’s Cross and Russell Square)

IN the lead-up to the celebration of love, Valentine’s Day, we look at the inspirational story of businessman, David White of Weboptimiser who went from full speed growth in the high tech arena to the edge of bankruptcy in 24 hours and how – by making some very hard decisions about his life and his business – he managed to create a life raft not just for his business, but for many other small businesses in the UK and Europe

They say necessity is the mother of invention.  In David’s case his tough decisions led to creative solutions that have been a lifeline to many others since.

David gives a 5-point change plan to take you from inertia in your business, through the process of hard decision making, to restructure and the light at the end of the tunnel

Inspired by ‘Lovemarks’ by Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, with a delicious breakfast and chocolates by Thornton’s Chocolates, and the chance to have a private tour of the museum, currently showing three international artists – Mat Collishaw, Tracey Emin and Paula Rego – whose work focus on childhood themes of motherhood, pain, childbirth and loss, the breakfast briefing will be an insightful, entertaining and calorific event for anyone who wants to love their business through good times and bad!

  • 8am to 8.30am: registration and breakfast
  • 8.30am: welcome from KXBF
  • 8.40am: David White of Weboptimiser
