Welcome to another packed edition of Eastern Promise, starting with a mash-up of the East of England and the Shipping Forecast (apologies, I’ve always wanted to do that)!

 

We start with a roundup of the news from the East of England.  Send your stories to [email protected].

 

We bring you the highlights of day two of SYNC THE CITY: we chat to mentors and contestants, and find that on a cold Friday morning, reality is also beginning to dawn for our teams…

 

How do we in the East of England identify, train and retain our best leaders?  And what even makes a good leader?  I’ll be putting these questions to Norfolk’s pre-eminent expert on leadership, CEO of Nelsonspirit Nigel Cushion; and graduate of Nelsonspirit’s ‘Home First’ programme, Charlotte Pounder.

 

And finally, it’s curtain up for the greatest theatres, playhouses and live performance venues in the East of England in this week’s CROWDSOURCERY! Encore!
