Jim Eastwood gave a talk to enterprising students about his Four Main Tips for Success. Additionally, he discussed being enterprising; answered questions from students and had informal conversations with them.

Here's what some of the students had to say about the event:

“Jim Eastwood's talk was truly amazing and inspiring. I had known from the show The Apprentice on BBC that Jim Eastwood's skill in persuading and giving speech was impressive but I was still amazed when I actually heard him speaking to us during the event”.

“I found the event with Jim Eastwood hugely inspiring. I was not only thrilled to meet The Apprentice star in person but was particularly impressed by what he had to say on the day. The charm of Jim’s insoluble air of optimism had evidently not worn off since his time on the hit BBC1 show, yet his ‘tips for success’ were reassuringly practical”.
