Here’s something I genuinely don’t understand…
When did networking stop meaning… connecting?
For me, when you go to an event — any event — the purpose is simple: you meet people, you build relationships, you stay in touch. That’s where the real value is.
Recently, I went to a networking event. I hadn’t been to one in a long time — I’ve been traveling the world, speaking on big stages, working alongside world-class speakers, and building my global community.
But I thought, let me go and see what’s happening out there.
I didn’t know anyone. That’s fine. I’m confident. I enjoy meeting people.
So I approached a few women, started conversations… but I could feel there wasn’t much interest in connecting further. And of course, I understand — they didn’t know me.
Still, I found it… surprisingly difficult.
In one of those conversations, I asked:
“Are you on Instagram?”
“No.”
“LinkedIn?”
“I am… but I don’t really use it.”
“Do you have a business card?”
“No.”
“So how do we connect?”
And the response:
“Why do you want my number?”
That moment stayed with me.
Because my question is — why wouldn’t we connect? That’s why we’re here.
And it also made me reflect on something deeper…
At Global Woman Club, we do things very differently.
I don’t just create events — I facilitate connection.
I’ll often pause the room and ask:
“How many people have you met today?”
And if it’s not enough, I’ll say:
Stand up. Go and meet someone you don’t know.
Go and say hello.
Go and introduce yourself.
Sometimes I even encourage a hug — because connection is human before it is professional.
I want every woman in that room to feel like she belongs.
Like she knows people.
Like she matters.
Because here’s the truth:
If you walk into a room and feel like you’re the most important person there… you’re in the wrong room.
And if you walk in feeling like you don’t belong… that’s something we change, together.
I always say:
When a woman asks me, “Where should I sit?”
My answer is simple — wherever you sit is the best place.
It reminds me of Napoleon Bonaparte.
When he entered a room and people asked where he wanted to sit, he said:
“Don’t worry… wherever I sit is the best seat.”
That’s the mindset.
Not ego.
Not insecurity.
Just quiet confidence.
Because sometimes, when people create distance, it comes from different places:
Is it positioning?
Is it lack of confidence?
Is it feeling “better than others”?
Or simply not knowing how to connect?
We don’t always know.
But what I do know is this:
From the moment you walk into a Global Woman Club event, a mastermind, or a networking space
you are welcomed.
You are seen.
You are part of something.
We treat people with love and respect.
Not hierarchy.
Because the moment you start acting like you’re “above” others…
you’ve already lost something far more valuable.
I’d love to hear your perspective…
Is networking changing?
Or are we forgetting what it was always meant to be?

Sometimes the hardest part is not the pain itself.
It is admitting that the pain is still affecting you.
Many people are functioning, smiling, achieving, leading, and serving… while carrying hidden wounds.
But hidden does not mean healed.
Healing starts with honesty.
And honesty starts with this question:
“What am I still carrying that I need to release?”
Many leaders are navigating this quietly—showing strength outwardly, while carrying more than they should alone.
As I prepare for the launch of The Art of Letting Go: Healing from Hidden Wounds, these are the conversations that matter most.
I’ll also be speaking about this at the symposium on 9th May, sharing practical insights on letting go, healing, and leading with clarity.
If this resonates, I would genuinely value your thoughts.
The leaders who sustain high performance long-term do one thing differently.
They don’t wait until something breaks.
They build support into how they operate before it becomes critical.
That means:
– creating space to think
– managing energy intentionally
– and recognising early signals instead of overriding them
Because once you reach a certain level,
performance is no longer about doing more.
It’s about operating smarter - and more sustainably.

Nobody talks about this enough.
Women entrepreneurs are statistically more likely to undercharge, over-deliver, and avoid looking at their own numbers. I did it too.
For years I helped wealthy clients build financial systems while my own business was falling apart. The moment I started treating my business with the same rigor I applied to my clients', everything changed.
Your business deserves the same financial discipline you give your best client. Start there.
