Connect & Collab Monthly Networking
Monthly Networking for Established Consultants, Advisors & Service Providers
Most networking events weren't built for people at your level.
They were built for volume. 50 people in a room, each with 30 seconds to pitch, half of whom stopped listening after the third intro.
So we stopped going. And that made sense.
But here's the consequence: scaling alone isn't sustainable. The relationships that actually move your business forward... the referral partner who already has your ideal client's trust, the peer who's two steps ahead of where you want to be, the collaborator who opens a door you couldn't open alone... those don't come from posting alone. They come from being in the right room, consistently, with the right people.
Connect & Collab is that room.
This isn't a pitch parade. It's a curated space for established business owners who want strategic relationships... not more small talk.
“Amazing network session, thank all for sharing your insights and supporting growth in my business with new idea's and some I can put into practice immediately...”
~ Cathleen Gultig
"Honestly, your events are one of the good ones — and I attend A LOT of online events."
~ Maria Platusic
Here's what actually happens in our space.
We deserve a space that matches our commitment and our level of play.
“Honestly your events are one of the good ones and I attend A LOT of online events!” — Maria Platusic
Connect & Collab is different. We don't host pitch parades... we host an introduction event. This is where strategic relationships are built, not business cards exchanged. We've ditched the traditional networking vibe... no pitching, bro culture, fake smiles, or stale donuts.
Curated Introductions
The Peer Roundtable
Real conversations, not performances
Concrete next steps
David pairs people with intention in the 1:1 and small group conversations. You're not dropped into a breakout room at random... he pays attention to who you are, what you do, and who you'd actually benefit from meeting. Most people leave saying the pairings were the best part.
Every session includes a 15-minute open discussion on a real topic: what's working right now, what's shifting, what nobody's talking about publicly. Think of it as a market pulse check with people who are actually in the market.
No pitching. No 30-second scripts. No performing for people you'll never see again. This is peer-level conversation... the kind where you can say what's actually hard, what you're actually trying, and what kind of collaboration you're actually looking for.
You leave with 2–3 people you genuinely want to follow up with... and a reason to reach out. No more silent followers you'll never speak to again.
"If you're looking for a space to feel like you belong, make sure you check out Heidi's networking and community."
~ Lion Fludd
"I had the option to sleep in or attend this event — and I'm like, I have to get this on my calendar. That's the effort we've put in to build a real relationship here."
~ Derrick Espadas, MBA
'What an incredible, well orchestrated event with an incredible group of people.
I made wonderful connections that lit my soul up.
I've really missed this online, it's why I had to get an in-person office space because I wasn't getting that in-person feeling online.
But you've shown me you can have the same amazing vibe online as offline.
Yesterday was just perfect! I'm looking forward to attending the next one.'
