Let's talk: www.calendly.com/niabettertogether

The overarching motivation that drives everything I do is the combination of passion and experience to connect like-minded, talented people. By leveraging my network, and supporting business owners and executives in growing theirs, I’ve made a significant difference in people’s lives. I can say that’s been my one true calling for over 33 years. 

We are delivering support to the local community through two main avenues: peer-advisory groups for both start-up businesses and mature entrepreneurs, via Second Saturday Community Coaching and South Carolina Peer to Peer.  The other is described in detail in the following paragraphs.
I’ve continued to build exceptional business relationships that result in business growth with the acquisition of the South Carolina client-only networking franchises called Network In Action. 

Network In Action is a competitively-constrained group of clients that seek to serve each other through strategic introductions and strong business relationships. 

The revenue generated to date has exceeded all projections and we welcome senior-level management and business owners to become part of our thriving membership.

I'm also available as a private coach for those who have "networking space" (chambers, leads groups, etc.) but want to do a better job of turning their network into RELATIONSHIPS. 6- and 12-month curricula available; please call or message to discuss suitability.

How can I help you?

The New Power Skill in Networking (Hint: It’s Not Talking)

In 2026, the most powerful networkers aren’t the best talkers.
They’re the best listeners.
Active listening has become a competitive advantage — because so few people actually do it.

Instead of waiting to pitch, high-level connectors:
 • Ask better questions
 • Listen for challenges, not just titles
 • Remember what matters to the other person

People don’t refer who you are.
They refer what they understand about you — and that only happens when trust is built through attention.

If you want better referrals this year, talk less.
Listen more.
Follow up intentionally.
That’s what makes someone referral-worthy.

👉 Want help building a network that listens, connects, and converts? DM me.
