Networking That Feels Natural, Builds Confidence, and Delivers Real Growth
with Kerryn Powell The Network Catalyst
Does networking feel like stepping into the unknown?
Meeting new people and starting conversations can be daunting, especially if you’re naturally reserved. But what if networking could be easier, more enjoyable—and genuinely rewarding?
Imagine finding a space where you’re supported to grow at your own pace, connect with others on your terms, and discover knowledge, confidence, and purpose in every interaction.

Led by Kerryn Powell, The Network Catalyst, YTM is a unique community where quieter professionals and business owners thrive. With years of experience helping people just like you, Kerryn has created a safe, welcoming space that transforms networking from a chore into an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
Through expert facilitation and thoughtfully designed sessions, Kerryn ensures that every interaction is meaningful, purposeful, and empowering.

Gain valuable knowledge and insights.
Build a support network of like-minded professionals.
Discover new business opportunities and resources.
Grow your confidence to speak and connect with ease.
Find purpose and amplify your unique strengths.

“ I started YTM because I saw how many talented, thoughtful professionals struggled with networking. My goal is to help you move from hesitation to confidence, one conversation at a time. Together, we’ll build a community where you feel valued, supported, and ready to achieve your goals. Networking isn’t just about who you know—it’s about who you become through the process."

You Feel Comfortable: Quiet, reserved, or simply new to networking? Kerryn ensures you feel supported and at ease.

“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 -”

“Is the Your Time Matters business networking community for ME? “
Great question. Here is the best answer we can give you.
We will pay for your first online event.
You can attend a regular online event as our guest and see if you like it or not. We’re confident you will, or we wouldn’t be making this offer. Just a couple of quick screening questions to make sure we’re going to be a great fit for you.
At the end of the event just tell us what you thought and if you’d like to become a member. It’s entirely up to you. We let the people and events do the selling for us and there’s no pressure to join unless you love it.

Create connection. Foster community. Influence change.
