Kristine Niven, EA's In Education
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

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 -

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.

Michelle Jelleff, Director & Chair START Foundation
"I met Kerryn over a year ago through a YTM event and the networking opportunities that have stemmed from this engagement have been incredibly helpful. My work has me navigating through very new territory, so the ability to meet new people who can share their knowledge, expertise, ideas and own networks has given me tremendous confidence and opened up so many more avenues to consider. I always feel enormously energised after a YTM experience!”

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.

Peter Burgess, Principal, Process Culture
I was struggling with finding networking quite uncomfortable and impersonal.
Since working with Kerryn, I have gained confidence and enjoyment in networking.
As a result of this, I have developed significant business relationships, which have had a positive impact on me, on both a business and personal level.

Kerryn and Leigh Powell run fantastic networking events which not only keep me educated with relevant content but also give me opportunities to connect with the right people. If you tend to find Networking a bit awkward and confronting you have to attend a YTM Networking event as you will definitely not feel either of these things.

YTM is head and shoulders above many networking events you will attend. I was blown away with the attention to detail YTM puts on it's events. One of the most impressive aspects was the matching. The care and consideration given to placing attendees with synergies at the same table was outstanding and I hadn't come across before. I highly recommend people get along to check them out and see the full potential of a networking event run with a great format

Ayesha Fathers - Community Services Development Professional
On behalf of the Eastern Sector Development Team and the Eastern Metropolitan Region (EMR) Alliance, I would like to thank Kerryn Powell for being such a passionate keynote speaker at our 25 July 2018 EMR Alliance Convention. This event was attended by 104 leaders across the region’s funded community aged care service providers and was themed ‘Communication – The Human Connection’. Kerryn’s collaborative approach in designing a presentation to meet our needs was both flexible and professional. She was generous with her time and supportive of our event, taking a large step out of her comfort zone by working with us to test new live audience feedback software during her own presentation, in preparation for a later presentation. Attendee feedback was very positive, with 90% stating that Kerryn’s keynote left them not only understanding why personal and professional networks matter more than ever in this changing environment but also with an understanding on how to influence more, collaborate better, drive impact and future proof through collaboration. We wish Kerryn all the very best and hope to work with her again in the future

Lauren Ayers - GLAS
Kerryn's events are exceptional. I've been to a number of networking events over the years and why I like YTM is because you really do get to meet and connect with other people and build relationships, which I love. Its not at all transactional and you can meet a group of people who are all looking to grow their business and themselves, and the potential to create referral is excellent. The formats vary each even between a number of different styles meaning the personal learning is there as well. Looking forward to more and more in the future. Thanks Kerryn and Leigh for an amazing offering.

Sue Hayter, Trusted Mortgage Broker
“I engaged Kerryn to speak to the mortgage brokers I mentor to help them understand the importance of relationships and how to go about building a strong network. She is a generous and warm facilitator who provided a wealth of knowledge and engaged the group in a beneficial and fun networking session. The feedback from the group was very positive and I would highly recommend Kerryn as a presenter”.

"Traditional networking guidelines make ‘networking’ look fairly transactional. However, Kerryn Powell makes networking more effective by arranging professional meeting “Your Time Matters” events, where participants get to know people before needing help with something or selling products and services.
Kerryn demonstrates how to make networking a regular part of your life. She has the knowledge and experience to help business people find a way to grow and maintain a useful network and she break it down into easy-to-follow steps".

I joined YTM networking three years ago with the view to meet liked minded business people, connect and network and by so doing grow my business. Like any networking activity, it takes time and effort before you can see results. Well, time and effort paid off as I have made numerous connections through the YTM networking events, established solid relationships and received a number of quality referrals which translated to close business and further assist in the development and maintenance of the relationship. YTM events have my full endorsement.
