Business owners tell us there is no other netwokring like ours for new business, leads, opportunities, learning and fun – yes we have a laugh while we network and make money.
Facilitated by @Mandie Holgate you can discuss anything – it’s confidential and then you’ve the confidential community to discuss everything and ensure accountability to change and grow you and your business.
Face to face events follow the same structure with arrival at 10am and time to freely network over great coffee (or drink of your choice!) Then structured just enough to ensure everyone knows you and your business and how you can help and you get to learn too.
Our events are high octane, fun, productive networking events. Stay on for lunch and get free training, mentoring and coaching from Mandie. (Additional fee for lunch – but it’s worth it!)
