In Lincoln, the tourism sector last year contributed £216 million to the local economy. At a time when high street shops struggle to compete with online counterparts and draw in the crowds, the 'experience factor' is the thing pulling people into the city. Listen to our latest Business Week feature read to you by Associate Editor Emily Norton.
During a special appearance in the city, Peep Show star Robert Webb told The Lincolnite of a difficult childhood in rural Lincolnshire, finding joy in performing, exploring masculinity and grief in his first book, and important lessons from a “lucky” career.
Robert’s first home was a house called Slieve Moyne in Woodhall Spa. He speaks of his ‘working class’ upbringing, with a chuckle at the mention of his ‘posh’ persona. “My two brothers and I grew up in a house where we read the Daily Mail, drove second hand cars and no one went to university. Everyone had a job but no one had a career.”
We have all heard of the 'glass ceiling'. Anyone who's ever felt they have the skills to reach new personal heights, but can't get there, can easily blame an impassable blockade: "I can't compete with them", "I don't have time for that", "opportunities aren't available to me", "I'm not good enough".
But there's no ceiling. The ability to do that thing you've always wanted to do lies within your hands, and it's up to you to get your self off that "sticky floor". That's the mantra of The Lincolnite'slatest podcast guest, prominent Lincoln business and marketing professional and public speaker Ruchi Aggarwal. Ruchi is the Director of Business Development at the University of Lincoln and is a marketing and strategy professional with over two decades of industry experience.
What if boys and girls were treated exactly the same? What difference would it make to them... to their self-esteem... to their confidence?
