What made Kerryn’s approach memorable and valuable

What people consistently valued about Kerryn’s work was the way she created environments that felt warm, thoughtful, and easy to engage in. There was structure, but never stiffness. Learning was integrated naturally. And the experience continued to evolve in response to what people needed most.

That same approach continues to sit behind Kerryn’s work today.

As Warren Howard of HowardCo reflected, it was the natural flow, thoughtful structure, and integrated learning that made the experience stand out.

  • Smiling man with a shaved head wearing a dark jacket against a gray background.

    “Kerryn and Leigh create an environment in which people can really connect with each other. Most importantly they create a space in which you will feel welcomed, supported, and comfortable.

    I am grateful for how much I have learned at YTM events, both online and in person.

    My business has grown through the connections I have made, and I have achieved my business goals as a result of Kerryn and Leigh's support and guidance”

    -Simon James, Creative Director, Simon James Photography

  • Smiling person in a black shirt sitting at a desk with a laptop and plant in the background.

    “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 -”

    -Harriet Lammin, JDA Lammin Architects

  • A person with glasses and brown hair smiling, wearing a pink blouse against a dark blue background.

    “Being a member of the YTM community has provided opportunities to connect and have conversations with many business owners from various industries - many who I now also use for my business. The people in this community have been so warm and welcoming and conversations have been invaluable. I know I can trust these people because of their association with Kerryn, they also have my best interests at the forefront of any business conversations. The YTM community also provides opportunities for learning with access to various workshops and events throughout the year to build and strengthen my business knowledge.

    Thank you Kerryn for your support, guidance and mentorship and I look forward to continuing our journey together”

    “At first, I was a bit unsure of Networking. But very quickly Kerryn and the other members of YTM made me feel very welcome. After only a couple of meetings I now have gained a greater focus on how to manage and grow my business.”

  • Woman with glasses smiling, wearing a patterned black and white blouse, standing against a plain background.

    “I have learnt a lot by being a member of the YTM community! Belonging to a community helps to address the 'you don't know what you don't know' aspect of running a small business on your own.”

    - Carolyn James, Website Insights

I have not only met and connected with many great people - but I have also had many clients or affiliations with the members and their connections too. I highly recommend attending. Come and see for yourself.”

    “YTM events held by master networker Kerryn Powell are a great place to connect with like-minded small business owners.

    Whenever I’m looking for a solution to one of the many business challenges that come up, there’s either someone in the YTM family who can help, or Kerryn will recommend the right person from her incredible and vast business network.

    The speakers Kerryn brings on board at YTM events are always inspirational and add extra value to the friendly YTM experience!”
