Eat and Meet

YTM_icon_progressive dinners_transparent.png

In 2020, change was inevitable. To keep conversations flowing and our community connected we designed additional formats which continue to this day :

  • monthly, Lunch and Learn sessions, with subject matter experts and regularly showcase the expertise of our YTM members

  • YTM Progressive Dinner have returned each quarter (and even in 2021, we held these events online)

  • and, regular more casual social catchups for MEMBERS ONLY

We have witnessed and experienced, over the past years the value in sharing a meal, enjoying relaxed but meaningful conversations and having some fun, is how real, trusted relationships are formed and “magic”happens!

YTM PROGRESSIVE DINNERS

In many cultures, sharing a meal is one of the most traditional and important customs. Our YTM PROGRESSIVE DINNERS are based on this act of hospitality where even the shyest person, feels comfortable. The different setting and environment strengthens existing relationships and attracts our loyal and friendy community, and many new faces, too.

By joining us, you’ll have the opportunity to have relaxed but meaningful conversations and listen to a guest speaker or panel discussion while enjoying a fine, two-course meal.

Held only a few times a year, these events should be in your calendar!

YTM WHY AWARDS

Once a year, we hold the YTM Awards. These innovative events see a small group of competitors, stepping out of their comfort zone and raising their profile as they respond to a given topic and criteria and are judged by a panel. The competitors have the chance to win the YTM Award and /or the People’s Choice Award.

The aim is to encourage thought, increase confidence in public speaking, provide a forum for presentation and to have a bit of fun.

The topics thus far have been -

  • 2016- WHY? ( basis- Why do you do what you do?)

  • 2017-WHY NOT ? (basis- Thinking more innovatively )

  • 2018-WHY DOES IT MATTER? (basis- food for thought and learning)

  • 2019- WHY YOU? (pitch through story)

  • 2021 - Why: Influence and Change matters (held online)

  • 2022- WHY ME

Here is the Winner of the 2018 YTM and People’s Choice Award- Andy Gild

MONTHLY LUNCH AND LEARN

We believe technical “know- how” in your business is not enough on its own for to scale and prosper. At YTM we provide tools and resources that specifically support you and your business’ growth. Each month we invite subject matter experts to share with us some tips, tools, strategies that can be applied in building a better business.

A key component of these events, is time to connect in open networking, learn from the speaker allowing you to reflect and review your own approach and then have your questions answered. Regularly, discussion with others, opens up further opportunities.

These are not sales pitch opportunities, where you are expected to buy a program, but rather a value exchange from presenters who are keen to contribute to others and understand that when the time is right, you will have started the conversation and your understanding about how they can help you.
