I joined Connected Women as an opportunity to meet women from different backgrounds, but perhaps at similar ages and life experiences. Catch-ups can happen over lunch, dinner, or just coffee — making it easier for an introvert like me to ease into the business of meeting people in smaller groups. And of course, because it’s only women, the dynamic is VERY different. There’s no hidden agenda here — just a group of women getting together for a meal and a chat, sharing stories, advice, and sometimes support. — Diane.
Most of my friends are interstate and I keep in regular contact with them but it’s not the same as having people I can catch up with for a coffee and chat on a regular basis. I’ve really enjoyed meeting other members who live locally and have similar interests. It can feel hard to establish friendships as you get older so having opportunities created by Connected Women is really wonderful. — Fran.
What I love most about being a member is the ‘happy high’ that you experience after a Connected Women event – the buzz that you get from meeting new personalities, spending time with like-minded women and forming new friendships. I leave feeling curious about the people I have met and wanting to learn more about them. It is such a beautiful feeling. — Rose.
