Individual Workshops, Dinners & Community for Confidence and Connection

Strong relationships don’t happen by accident - they begin with meaningful, intentional conversations.

These practical, facilitated experiences are designed for individuals, business owners and professionals who want to strengthen how they communicate, build genuine connections and create opportunities aligned with who they are and where they are heading.

From interactive workshops to curated small-group experiences and quarterly Catalyst dinners, and throught the Catalyst Community, Kerryn creates spaces where people can reflect, practise, connect and grow with greater confidence and intention.

This is not about performing, pitching or working a room.
It is about understanding your value, engaging in conversations that matter, and recognising the opportunities that can begin with one thoughtful interaction.

Curated, guided dinners for deeper conversation and stronger connection

30 July & 3 September

Small group dining experiences for meaningful conversations.

Catalyst Dinners are intimate, conversation-led experiences designed for thoughtful professionals, changemakers and community builders who value genuine connection.

These are not traditional networking events. They are curated spaces where people can pause, reflect, share ideas, and engage in more meaningful dialogue around themes that matter.

Each dinner is designed to create the conditions for deeper conversation, stronger connection and fresh insight.

With the right conditions, even just one thoughtful conversation can create a ripple far beyond the room.

Something you'd like to know before you join us

  • You don't need to network more, you need better conversations. My workshops and experiences help you show up with intention and curiosity, so the connections you build have real trust and belonging behind them, not just a stack of business cards.

  • Yes. Alongside my organisational work, I create workshops, small group experiences and quarterly Catalyst Dinners for individuals who want to build clarity, confidence and connection in their professional conversations.

  • A Catalyst Dinner is a curated small-group experience -intimate, conversation-led, and built around a theme. It's designed for reflection and connection as much as learning. A workshop is more structured and skills-focused: you'll explore practical tools and frameworks you can apply straight away. Both create space for meaningful conversation — they just do it in different ways. If you're not sure which suits you, feel free to reach out and we can talk it through.

  • Yes, and you're not alone in feeling that way. Most people I work with arrive dreading networking. What changes isn't the networking itself, it's the conversation underneath it. Once that becomes something you're curious about rather than performing, the whole experience shifts.

  • This is not a transactional netwokring event. It’s a space where conversations and connections create deeper relationships.I startsfrom a different premise entirely. Most events put people in a room and hope connection happens. These experiences are designed to create the conditions for it — through thoughtful facilitation, intentional conversation prompts, and a curated group of people who are there for the same reason you are. The difference isn't just in format. It's in the belief that better conversations lead to better outcomes — and that belief shapes everything about how these experiences are run.

  • Yes, and you're not alone in feeling that way. Most people I work with arrive dreading networking. What changes isn't the networking itself, it's the conversation underneath it. Once that becomes something you're curious about rather than performing, the whole experience shifts.

  • A Catalyst Dinner is an intimate, conversation-led evening for thoughtful professionals and community builders, capped at eighteen people. Rather than small talk, we create the conditions for conversations that matter, the kind that build trust and often open doors you didn't know were there.

  • Catalyst Community is a membership space for people who want ongoing connection and contribution, not a one-off event. It's where the conversations continue, built around clarity, courage, connection, commitment and contribution, so the impact of one good conversation has room to ripple further.

  • Confidence isn't reserved for extroverts. It grows through better questions, stronger language and practice, which is exactly what my workshops, dinners and mentoring are built around.

  • “I've been meaning to get to a YTM event all year and I'm delighted the YTM Annual WHY Awards was my introduction to the fabulous community that Kerryn Powell has created. It was a warm, welcoming and professional group and Kerryn goes the extra mile to provide well-planned, engaging activities (not everyone just standing around making small talk) that helped me connect with a number of people quickly and comfortably. In the past I've found business networking events challenging, but YTM was actually enjoyable! I'll be back.”

    -Karen Garton

  • “Being welcomed into this special community was a truly enriching experience. Connecting with so many individuals who share authentic stories and diverse professional experiences was opened new perspectives and built meaningful bridges.

  • “Kerryn has a unique ability to create spaces where meaningful conversations can happen.

    I have attended many of Kerryn’s events and sessions and have always found them valuable, both personally and as a Director at Howardco. She brings people together in a way that feels natural and purposeful, encouraging genuine connection, fresh thinking and the sharing of different perspectives.

    The conversations Kerryn facilitates often challenge assumptions, broaden perspectives and create opportunities that may not have emerged otherwise.

    What stands out most is Kerryn’s genuine curiosity about people and her ability to build community. If you’re looking for someone who can bring people together, foster meaningful conversations and create environments where relationships and opportunities can flourish, I would highly recommend Kerryn.”- Warren Howard, HowardCo
