A fresh and flexible update to the events included in memberships is here!
This concerns the membership options that have the workshops included:
- Light: Events only
- Classic: MasterMind group and Events
Hereās how it works: each membership has one main member, but if you canāt make a workshop:
You can send someone else in your place.!
It doesnāt always have to be the same person so it's a great way to share your membership if you choose to.
Just note: this applies to workshops only, not mastermind groups or extras linked to your name.
There are a few great events in the pipeline that you have access to included in your membership, or that you can join as a one-off as a guest.

...Every 5th Monday of the month is "Social Monday". Members get together informally and discuss something specific. The 31st of March Social Monday was all about sharingĀ our favourite business apps that make life easier, and asking others what solutions they had for areas we want a solution for.
From streamlining workflows to managing contacts, we exchanged onĀ go-to tools, filling in the gaps for each other, and turning to chat GPT as a group for ideas on the spot! š¤
We walked away with a fantastic list, packed with practical solutions! Here are three interesting tips we came up with that you might want to check out too:

It takes me back to my own early days...
To the people who gave me a chance, when I was still finding my feet š£
Who forgave the beginner's missteps š
And chose to trust me, not just for what I was offering, but for who I was trying to become š«

Some of them had more faith in me than I had in...
I get told Iām good at networking, and it always surprises me.
Iām a huge Introvert at heart and I will often be the first to leave an event because Iāve had a great time, met wonderful people, but I feel my battery is flat and itās time to go.
Ā
Why am I always surprised that I am told Iām good at networking?
Because I feel like I never actually do it.
Ā
And THAT is exactly the secret.
Ā
I have found so many ways in which to ātrickā myself into networking that somewhere along the line I didnāt realise I was doing it amymore, I was too busy having fun.
Ā
Here are a few of the strategies I use to make things more fun not just for me, but those Iām speaking to as well.
Ā
I wrote a post for LI, all on my own š, then ran it through Chat GPT with the question:
Ā
āDoes this add value to the LI community?ā
Convinced I was going to get a
āYes, good job Mandy.ā
Pat on the back.
Ā
Obviously that didnāt happen.
Ā
Here is what it told me instead
Ā
Your post has a reflective and personal tone, but its value to the LinkedIn (LI) community depends on its alignment with professional insights, leadership lessons, or business takeaways. Hereās an evaluation:Ā
Ā
### **Strengths:**Ā
ā **Authenticity**
ā **Emotional Intelligence**
ā **Conflict Resolution**
Ā
### **Areas for Improvement:**Ā
š¹ **Lack of clear professional tie-in**
š¹ **Clarity & Structure** ā The message meanders a bit.
š¹ **Less Defensive Tone** ā While your response is measured, some phrases can still come across as defensive.
Ā
### **Does It Add Value to LinkedIn?**Ā
**Partially.**
Ā
Great! I meander and Iām defensive š
I suppose Chat GPT has just become my psycologist ...
It was always going to be fun creating our vision boards, but when music, wine and a whole lot of laughter was added to the mix it turned positively therapeutic!Ā
Judith led us through the process by first inviting us to reflect on or goals and getting very specific about our priorities. The discussions were insightful in themselves and helped clarify things already.Ā
The next step is to trust our intuition when going through the images an without overthinking Strat to gather what resonates the most.Ā
It was mostly laughter from there!
Here are a few impressions from the session:
"Iām laughing all over again looking at the pictures. Thank you so much for holding this session for us, it was wonderful."
"Judith - yesterday was great! Thank you very much for the organisation. I had a lovely time with all of you and feel inspired! I come out of this with all the fun vibes and I look forward to seeing it come to life!"
"Thank you so much for this fun evening and what a pleasure it has been...
š What a Night! It was a Full BƤr at our SpeedNetworking event š
The room was buzzing with energy as entrepreneurs and professionalsĀ came together for an evening of meaningful connections. It was the first time we implemented a SpeedNetworking concept and it was a hit! Laughter, insights, and unexpected discoveries filled the air! Our ears were ringing slightly from the noise levels, but the vibe was energising.Ā
Ā
Phones at the ready for a quick QR code scan to stay connected in the LinkedIn world and then the bell was ringing for people to move on to a new partner!
I loved this comment "Thanks again for organising Great opportunity to meet & greet and network like crazy š¤Ŗ"
People left inspired by the stories they heard, pleased and the unexpected common ground that was found very quickly and, and excited about the new connections made. Collaborations sparked, ideas flowed, and networks were expanded!

š Throwback to Where It All Began
Back in September 2023, we launched the B-inspired Community!Ā
š” 6 mastermind members in our very first group called "The Originals"
ā No fixed space (just cafĆ©s and homes)
I was sure there was a way to break business isolation and go beyond the surface networking to build real connections that allow us to stay motivated and keep moving forward.
We all knew the feelingāmeeting people, having a nice chat⦠but never truly going deeper. We wanted more:
ā
Open and supportive conversations
ā
Diverse thinking and collective intelligenceĀ
ā
Ā Accountability
Our first discussion was to create our community guidelines. It became clear that we were going for a culture of trust, kindness, honestly and collaboration. And what an amazing journey itās been! š«
Since then we've come so far and seeing what this community has turned into 18 months down the line, I still feel it is aligned and on track when I think back to that first meeting and the culture we wanted ...
