“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 -”
