Struggling to achieve the impact you want?
The right conversations could change everything.
“I work with changemakers, problem solvers and community builders to turn conversations and connections into - clarity, confidence and impact”.
Many capable, thoughtful people feel stuck — not because they lack ideas or intent, but because barriers get in the way.
Some are personal.
Some are cultural.
Some are shaped by how work, leadership and “networking” have traditionally been done.
When conversations stay surface-level, opportunities are harder to see.
Confidence wavers.
Impact feels out of reach.
I understand this because I’ve lived it. It’s why I do what I do — to guide and support you, because I believe anything is possible with the right network and support.
I don’t rush or prescribe. I create space to explore new perspectives, excite fresh thinking and expand what feels possible — through conversation.
What If Conversations Felt Natural — and Led Somewhere Meaningful?
When the approach to conversation changes, things begin to move.
People see more clearly.
They feel more confident in their voice.
Connections deepen.
And conversations start to lead somewhere meaningful.
Often, nothing new is added —
it’s simply seen differently.
This is the way forward for :
Changemakers
Seeking to make things better through their contribution — improving a business, a career, or a community — because impact matters.
Problem Solvers
Looking to help others navigate uncertainty, make decisions, and solve real-world problems, with people at the centre.
Community Builders
With a vision to bring people together — teams, clients, candidates, partners — to create trust, belonging, and shared success but unsure of the steps involved.
Purpose Led teams
To better understand the value in the right conversations, culture, and connections — not just the outcomes you deliver.
People who are human-centred, think beyond themselves, seek fulfillment, have wisdom to share, contributions to make, are human-centred and want to create an impact
Why work with me?
I’m Kerryn Powell — The Network Catalyst.
For over a decade, I’ve facilitated conversations that help people break through what’s holding them back and connect with confidence and purpose.
My work sits at the intersection of conversation, connection and impact.
Clarity — see the path forward
Confidence — trust your voice
Impact — create meaningful change
If you’re ready to approach conversations differently — let’s talk.
Grateful to have connected and worked with people who understand the value of conversations and connections. Here are just a few:

I first met Kerryn early 2018 at a retreat and was drawn to her ability to create a conversation from the most simple introduction. What I've learnt in the time since has been how to connect with my peers, clients and family members in a whole new manner. Kerryn has also made me think about the new connections I could make and how to reach out to them to get to know them. Many thanks to Kerryn for helping me grow as a woman, business owner, friend and family member. I look forward to enjoying our connection for many years to come.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kerryn for over 10 years, and in that time, I’ve learnt so much from her about the true power of networking.
Kerryn is what I call the “Networking Guru”—she has a remarkable ability to connect the right people at the right time, and her insights have been invaluable to my business growth.
Her knowledge, warmth, and strategic approach to building meaningful connections make her an incredible mentor in this space.

![Men often struggle with networking conversations, making the conversation about sales rather than opportunities and relationships that help them grow.]()
I was struggling with finding networking quite uncomfortable and impersonal.
Since working with Kerryn, I have gained confidence and enjoyment in networking.
As a result of this, I have developed significant business relationships, which have had a positive impact on me, on both a business and personal level.

Kerryn has a wonderful way of helping you to discover the opportunities to make connections - business or other - that you might be missing and guide you towards a deeper understanding of how to foster meaningful relationships that will impact you both personally and professionally. I recently attended her workshop on Hidden Lead Generation, which prompted me to review my current business opportunities and identify new ways to connect with potential clients in my business.
If you are a business owner looking for help to identify how you can connect with your ideal customer or client, I highly recommend speaking to Kerryn about her workshops or 1:1 mentoring.

I had the opportunity to attend Kerryn’s corporate workshop called "𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴".
The knowledge that she shared was 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥, 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 and 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭. It made me realise and revise the way in which I approach professional networking.
I would without hesitation highly recommend connecting with Kerryn. Her workshops are well suited to large corporates, small business networking and similar type events.- Eric Em,
