Event Facilitation with Kerryn Powell
Creating spaces where meaningful conversations lead to connection, clarity, and impact.
“My events go beyond meeting people.They create the conditions for confidence, trust, and conversations that move people — and ideas — forward.”
— Kerryn Powell
Event Facilitation with Kerryn Powell — The Network Catalyst
Events don’t create connection.
Conversations do.
Many people find traditional networking and events intimidating — full of noise, surface-level exchanges, and pressure to perform. My work is about changing that experience.
I design and facilitate events where people feel comfortable to show up, curious to engage, and confident to contribute.
Not louder.
Not busier.
Just more meaningful.
“My events offer more than a chance to meet new people. They create space for reflection, dialogue, and connection — where confidence grows, relationships deepen, and people leave with clarity about what’s possible next.”
Facilitated Events That Go Beneath the Surface
Whether you’re bringing together a team, a leadership group, or a broader community, the quality of conversation matters.
A well-facilitated event can:
Build trust and psychological safety
Strengthen relationships across roles, sectors, or perspectives
Encourage reflection, contribution, and shared understanding
Turn participation into insight — and insight into action
I don’t stand on a stage and talk at people.
I create the conditions for people to talk with each other — thoughtfully, respectfully, and with purpose.
Designed for Your Purpose
I work with organisations, teams, and community leaders to design experiences that align with what you want to achieve — not a one-size-fits-all agenda.
This may include:
Conferences and forums
Leadership and strategy days
Team or board sessions
Community gatherings and retreats
Every experience is intentionally designed to support engagement, contribution, and connection — so participants leave feeling:
Heard
Valued
Energised
Clearer about their role, relationships, and next steps
If you’re planning an event and want it to mean something, let’s talk.
A Practical Way to Deepen Connection
Conversations Count
For many groups, conversation is the missing link.
Conversations Count is a structured, accessible tool designed to remove awkwardness and invite meaningful dialogue — without putting people on the spot.
Used in facilitated sessions or on its own, it:
Encourages curiosity and listening
Helps people share perspectives and lived experience
Builds confidence to speak and contribute
Strengthens relationships through simple, guided prompts
With two versions available, it works across:
Team meetings
Networking and community events
Leadership and development sessions
It’s not about icebreakers.
It’s about making every interaction count.
