HOW TO SURVIVE & THRIVE IN UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC TIMES ?
In an increasingly uncertain, yet relentlessly competitive business environment, entrepreneurs are faced with important decisions to ensure continued growth.
Our latest AIBF Masterclass, hosted by a wonderful panel of business experts, will deliver a comprehensive overview of what needs to be considered for your business, which will dictate whether it Survives, Thrives, or Dives.
ABOUT THE SESSION
How to Survive & Thrive in Uncertain Economic Times?
Today’s environment is difficult, challenging and uncertain. As entrepreneurs and business leaders we have 3 options: Survive, Thrive or Dive.
Dive - This is the end of your business,
Survive - Hold on until you get to the other side, or…
Thrive - Imagine having the opportunity to acquire your competitors?
SESSION DETAILS
In this Masterclass, hosted by AIBF and EY, you will learn from the successes of leading global entrepreneurs. We will discuss:
How to flourish by thinking differently about your strategy for protecting, building and transforming your business - ‘The EY 7 Drivers of Growth’.
How one of Ireland’s leading tech companies is leading the charge and growing through acquisitions.
And How you can ensure your business thrives rather than just survives and is positioned for growth.

Justin Caffrey - Serial Entrepreneur, Owner - Justin Caffrey Global
Justin is one of Europe's leading minds in Resilience, Leadership, Business Strategy, Psychological Safety and Neuroscience. His work on the Nervous System and Neuroscience Performance and its connection to stress has been watched over 1 million times online.
Justin has been a dynamic CEO and founder of multiple investment firms. In 2014, Justin had a panic attack in an important meeting (he failed to grieve his son’s death). Although his nervous system was shutting down, he pushed through the session and kept it quiet. Psychological safety could not have been further from his mind. He would later discover that it drives profits and high performance in business.
Justin now shares the high-performance skills he acquired over 25 years of business success - the last eight studying the neuroscience and psychology of success. He’s had successful investments (and exits) in eight companies across five different countries over that 25-year career, and knows what’s needed to drive from inception to successful sale.
Justin has coached C-Suite Leaders in global brands such as Sales Force, PwC, Stripe, UBS, EY, LIA, Nostra, Institute of International & European Affairs and Barcelona University MBA Program. He’s helped hundreds of successful students from all over the world to develop their mindset & resilience, and become empowered to achieve their goals.
