Perhaps you are asking yourself- “What will I gain as a participant gain from this event?”

After Attending the YTM Awards Dinner, you may want to ask yourself-

  1. How can I incorporate the diverse perspectives I’ve heard into my own business strategy?

  2. What new ideas or concepts challenged my thinking tonight, and how can I explore them further?

  3. How can I use the knowledge gained tonight to enhance my personal growth and professional development?

  4. Which speaker’s approach to overcoming challenges can I apply to my current business obstacles?

  5. What actions can I take to be more open to vulnerability and seek help when needed?

Don't miss out on this chance to expand your network and knowledge. See you there!

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.
