IMPACT & VALUE – The Network Studio

IMPACT | VALUE | SUCCESS

Action | Feedback | What we’ve done, what we’re doing!

The value and impact has never been in a straight line! Below is what people have to say, and our reach.

“After being a part I feel more energised and inspired to continue with my journey and activity.

“You’re like the hub, and we’re the spokes. How else would I have come across the people you’re introducing me too!”

“So much the treasure trove-minder of humanity!”

People say

It’s like an investigation…. tracking all the parts and how they fit together….
It’s tracking the flight paths of planes crossing over…..
It’s like an old telephone network exchange…. plugging people into each other!
It’s a match-making, dating agency!
You are like a dinner party host. We trust you, so we trust the others. Conversations go deeper, quicker.

FEEDBACK

“I’m in, whatever it is”, “I’ll always turn up. I don’t know what will happen exactly, or ‘what I’ll get’, but I know it will be good.”

The value of enabling connections. 2019 NZ conference…

“I know I can expect to meet seriously insightful people who are deeply aware of where they are on their journey and able to reflect and discuss that. Last night was no exception.”

How people feel after joining in!

CONNECTIONS of IMPACT | Inspired & Connected

It feels like everyone was listening in on my work life! You’re all reading my mind! I’ve taken heaps of notes!

Best time I’ve spent for a long time. The meet ups exceed expectations.
Great to be with a whole room of like-minded people. And reminded, I am not alone!
I have never experienced such genuine interest in conversations and sharing!
The event was like a recharge, to be with so many people that understand the challenges and rewards!
“Can you imagine any other universe in which this combination of improvement minds would have happened.”
“I am so grateful for the people I have access to and will remember it for the rest of my days.”
“I’m always amazed how quickly the conversations go to a wide range of topics, in a space of psychological safety, when people have only just met.”
“It’s hard to highlight the vibrant dynamism and generous hospitality of the network…”

We’re tapped into | A huge number of organisations and networks across the globe.
