Mom Connections: How do we actually Network?

Loading player...
Let’s be honest, Networking feels a lot harder when We’re exhausted, the shirt You’re wearing has a mystery stain, kids' homework is keeping us busy, and most of us would rather be sleeping instead of attending yet another gathering.

But, what If you’re a Mom who wants to build business connections, and struggle with the awkward small talk? Well, then this Podcast is for you!

We are breaking down how to network on Our own terms, no fake corporate energy and chit chat required.

"Powerful networks are about meeting people that are different than you, with different likes & interests, to create a Support Circle"

Understanding how to Network, as a Mom, is life changing, says our guest this week: affectionately known as South Africa's "Networking Queen," Helen Nicholson.

She's already published two best-selling books for guidance on this topic, Networking for Introverts (2024) and Mindfulness: How to Stay Sane in an Insane World (2022).

In this discussion Helen shares the best tips (& secrets) for Networking. And, why it's so important to "make the circle bigger!"
