You know that word… networking.

The one that makes most of us inwardly groan and picture stuffy vibes, awkward intros, and someone droning on about targets, while you politely smile and pretend you’re having the best time. 

I used to hate it too.

But here’s the thing: I’ve changed my mind.

We are a network – just not the kind you’re thinking of.

Let’s talk about something I see all the time...

You go to a networking event (maybe one of ours), chat to a few fab women, sip a cuppa, leave feeling pretty chuffed... and then wonder why no one’s messaged to work with you the next day.

In the world of service-based businesses, it’s not just about what you do – it’s about who you are.

You know that thing where someone pops along to a networking event, has a lovely time, vibes with a few women… and then later says:

“It was really nice, but I’m not sure what I actually got out of it?”

Totally fair. Especially if you’re used to the more traditional kind of networking that’s super structured.

But just because there weren’t any powerpoints, business card swaps or forced referrals, doesn’t mean there weren’t opportunities. The opportunities are there. They’re just a bit more subtle. A bit more human.

We LOVE celebrating our members and highlighting the incredible impact the Pink Coral Community has had on them. Meet Charlotte from Chic by Charlotte, a talented Colour Analyst.

I’ve never been a fan of the more traditional, corporate-style networking. It’s just not for me. But to be clear – I’m not against networking. I genuinely believe in the power of building connections to grow your business.

We get it – free events and resources are tempting. From masterclasses, e-books to coworking and networking events, there’s so much out there at no cost. But at Pink Coral, we charge a membership fee and for our in-person events for good reason.

As one of our OG members, she joined even before we became Pink Coral, believing in our vision from the start.

If I had to describe the women in the Pink Coral Community, I’d say we’re “quietly ambitious.” 

We might not be the loudest ones in the room or going viral online, but we’re definitely ambitious, following our passions and doing things our own way!

It can be daunting joining a new community.

You feel like the new kid in school, with a flashing neon light over your head that says “I’m new!”

I usually shy away from labels but “introvert” suits me perfectly. I like staying in over going out. I prefer smaller, more intimate groups over big groups. I love a deep conversation rather than meaningless small talk.

We LOVE to celebrate our members, plus share the incredible impact Pink Coral Community has had on them. Meet Lauren from @untangledcreative the inspiring founder of an amazing creative business who’s been forging her own path in the world of business since the age of 18.
