WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YTM

  • “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”

    -Kristine Niven, EA's In Education

  • “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

  • “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

  • “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.”

    -Darren Lutchner, 356 Assist

  • “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

  • “YTM - Your Time Matters is my favourite networking group. Kerryn and Leigh Powell run fun, organised, educational, and inspiring events.

Come and see for yourself.”
