A Collaborative Brainstorm for Business Connections (12 Jun 2026)

Referral Radar – A Collaborative Brainstorm for Business Connections

At our upcoming meeting we’ll be running a short interactive activity designed to help members uncover new referral opportunities and strategic connections.

Many business owners naturally ask for the obvious referral — the customer who is ready to buy. However, some of the most valuable introductions come from the wider network around your business.

In our Referral Radar session, members will write down one connection they would love to make in the next three months. Together, the room will then help brainstorm additional possibilities — including complementary businesses, collaborators, suppliers, or strategic partners that could open new doors.

This activity taps into the collective knowledge and experience of the group, helping members see opportunities they may not have considered on their own.

Come ready to share one connection that could make a real difference in your business.

Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to those present at the meeting as you deliver your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

Kind regards

What Foster Care Taught Me About Growing Businesses (26 Jun 2026)

What Foster Care Taught Me About Growing Businesses

Our special presentation this week comes from Brendan Rogers, founder of Leader By Design where he helps business owners build high-performing, self-managing teams.

"Most business owners try to grow their teams and revenue before building the foundation their people need to thrive. In this session, I'll share how my fostering journey - helping children who have experienced trauma build safety, trust, and eventually flourish - taught me the same principles I now use to help business owners build profitable, scalable businesses.

You'll discover the 7-Milestone Growth Path I created for business growth and leadership development, and how the same human needs that help foster children thrive are exactly what your team needs to perform at their best."

Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

Kind regards
