Hi There,

II wanted to share a recent networking win that reminded me why I value genuine connections so much.

I really am excited for my workshop partner Rosemary O'Shaughnessy with her networking win. What a great example of how to show up as a real person and connect with your ideal clients. Check out the message below:

A big shoutout to Evelyn Pepperrell—not just for snapping a great Zoom photo of me, but for being a long-time connection who exemplifies how trust and consistency build meaningful relationships.

We first met years ago on Twitter (now X), where Evelyn hosted a Twitter Hour supporting Irish businesses. Over time, we:

• Recognized each other’s strengths
• Built trust through real conversations
• Grew our networks the authentic way

Here’s why Evelyn stands out:

• Events Expert – From online Twitter Hours to in-person gatherings
• People-Centric – She knows how to bring others together
• Skilled Communicator – Clear, engaging, and always adding value
• Connector – If you’re in need of community or visibility, Evelyn’s a great person to know

This week, we had a Zoom catch-up to talk life, business, and the power of quality networking. No bots—just human conversation that leads to real opportunities. We’re even collaborating on projects we both care deeply about.

Now I’d love to hear from you:

• Got a recent networking win?
• What’s your top networking tip—or a common mistake to avoid?

And if we’re not already connected, let’s fix that:

Looking forward to staying in touch and sharing more real conversations.
