THE CONFERENCE
Vision of The Bold New Normal
The materialisation of a bold new Africa where self-actualisation and prosperity are possible because the right opportunities are created for all to thrive and not merely survive.
It is a new normal because it will mean that mindsets have shifted, and the current status quo for Africa is no longer accepted. It is bold because it will require a fundamental shift in how we view ourselves and each other collectively. It is a place where each person has a real opportunity to realize their potential. It is an Africa where we are proud of what we see around us every day!
The bold new normal Africa is food secure; no one goes to bed hungry. She delivers high quality education to all children. High quality healthcare covers everyone in a combination of traditional and western medicine. Industries are thriving and Africans prefer their own goods and services so every adult able to work is gainfully employed.
It is the Africa where countries trade with each other and stand together as a collective block with the strength to articulate what is in its interest.
In this Africa there are no street children. All children are happily enjoying their childhood. The disadvantaged in society receive justice: fair support and care.
The societies have transparent accountable inclusive leaders who empathetically prioritize the needs of the people and thus set an example for all citizens to emulate. They serve with love and humility.
Lucy Quist’s vision of The Bold New Normal Conference is centred on engaging changemakers across the world to lead the charge in taking action to create equitable prosperity.
Lucy is embarking on the third annual Bold New Normal Conference. The conference is the foremost platform for changemakers to gather and engage in bold conversations about their lives, communities, countries and continent.
The conference will continue to actively participate in shaping conversations and co-creating an economically empowered continent that supports the ambitions of its people.
Our pledge for this conference is to each create an action plan and start taking action in order to create our own prosperity.

Testimonials

I was privileged to be part of the few that made it in person to The Bold New Normal (TBNN) Conference organized by Lucy Quist. She’s a lady I admire so much and having the opportunity to be in the same room with her during the conference would have done it for me but that’s not all. I enjoyed every session and had some key takeaways but my favourite was the Masterclass session because we made some life-altering decisions during this session. In the first place, I’m glad the book in which I made these notes is not dusty but more importantly I’m glad that I’m taking consistent steps towards achieving this. It may not happen as fast as you want it but I’m a great believer of consistency. Thanks, Lucy for this program and to all the keynote speakers too.

My life was transformed after reading The Bold New Normal book, but attending the conference was the catalyst that truly brought the book’s principles to life. While many conferences offer a lot of talk with little impact, The Bold New Normal was different. The skills and insights I gained were immediately applicable, and since the conference, I have been able to put my business on the map! Although my business had been established for years, I always struggled with branding and direction. This conference taught me how to effectively brand myself and my business, empowering me to take prosperity into my own hands. The Bold New Normal didn’t just talk about success—it gave me the tools to achieve it.

The Bold New Normal Conference brought to life the passion I had for pursuing my Environmental Management Consulting firm. I must say though we are not there yet, the foundations of consulting, engaging top companies, and working for them have reaffirmed my vision! "Everything is possible so far as you set your mind to it, and act upon it to achieve it." I received my first pay cheque because of the passion to be bold which was ignited by attending the conference.
