Hi, I'm Rachel.
I created Impactful Networking because making good connections shouldn't feel like hard work.
I'm inviting you to come along to a genuinely welcoming, warm space where good conversations lead to real connections.
Come and see for yourself!
⭐ Meet new people
⭐ Find collaborators, suppliers and referrers
⭐ Expand your network of like-minded businesswomen without the pressure
⭐ No need to worry about 60 second pitches because we don't do them!
⭐ No restrictions on who can come - if you think this space is for you, then it is!
Put simply: join us for warm, focussed conversations with people who are there for the same reasons you are.
How it works...
On the 3rd Monday of the month, at 2pm BST via Zoom.
Each session includes four private 1:2:1 breakout rooms of ten minutes each, plus a short guest speaker slot.
What you'll get from it...
💥 Four meaningful 1:2:1 conversations every session
💥 New contacts across a range of industries and backgrounds
💥 A short guest speaker slot sharing something worth hearing
💥 A relaxed, low-pressure environment that's easy to show up to
💥 The chance to find your next collaborator, client, supplier or friend

Be part of something bigger!
Impactful Networking sits alongside The Impactful Community® — two different things, but grounded in the same values.
Impactful Networking is a focused monthly session for making new connections in a genuinely welcoming, no-pressure space.
The Impactful Community® goes deeper. It's an ongoing community membership for women who want to stay connected to the impact of their work and build real relationships over time.
Some women find Impactful Networking first and make their way to The Impactful Community® from there. Others are already members and simply add this as something extra. There's no right order — both work well on their own and even better together.
