Your Time Matters: A Welcoming Space for Authentic Connections and Quiet Confidence
We know that networking can feel intimidating, especially if you’re someone who prefers quieter, more thoughtful interactions. But here, networking isn’t about making a splash—it’s about creating genuine, supportive connections to help you grow personally and professionally.
Networking at YTM is different
Our approach is designed to help you ease into conversations naturally, even if meeting new people feels daunting. We focus on creating a comfortable environment where authentic interactions come first, letting you build confidence step-by-step. With every session, you’ll find yourself engaging more freely, discovering not only valuable knowledge and support but also a deeper sense of purpose in each connection.
Our community is built to support you.
We believe networking is a powerful tool for growth and fulfillment when done thoughtfully. You’ll find opportunities to share knowledge, develop supportive relationships, and tap into resources that fuel your business and personal growth.
As we connect you with others on a meaningful level, you’ll not only gain the courage to share your strengths but also discover a genuine satisfaction in learning and growing alongside others.
Our founder, Kerryn Powell, says:
“ I wanted to create a business community and space where everyone feels supported, has fun, and is inspired to move forward on their business journey. And, I want it to be a safe and welcoming space where business networking is no longer a chore – it’s an opportunity to learn, grow and achieve. “

“YTM was the first networking event I attended two years ago when I started on the journey of business ownership. I was warmly welcomed by Leigh and Kerryn, and connected with a group of interesting and intelligent business people. Now two years on I haven't missed one, and after experiencing several other networking groups I can't recommend YTM enough. It is by far the most well run format and allows time to really get to know other business owners, delve deep and to form real and lasting connections. My confidence has grown and I am able to practice communicating my value to others in a safe and welcoming environment. Thank you Kerryn and Leigh -”
