“Conversations open doors, relationships are the key" – Kerryn Powell
I’m Kerryn Powell, the Network Catalyst and Founder of Your Time Matters business community.
My journey to where I am today has been shaped by my own experiences of navigating life’s twists and turns, and my deep belief in the power of connection. I’ve lived the challenges that come with feeling unsupported, uncertain, or overwhelmed, and I’ve seen firsthand how the right conversations and relationships can create extraordinary opportunities.
My story is what fuels my passion for helping people like you step out of your comfort zone, build genuine connections, and unlock the potential that lies within you.
My Story: From Life’s Challenges to Meaningful Connection
Growing up, I saw the struggles that often come with navigating life and business. My parents owned a small business, and while they worked hard, they often lacked the network and support they needed to overcome challenges. Their experiences taught me the value of having strong connections and a reliable support system.
Later in life, after my parents’ divorce, I had to carve out my own path. I experienced moments of loneliness, uncertainty, and self-doubt—emotions that are all too common in both life and business. These experiences taught me resilience and deepened my understanding of how crucial it is to have the right people around you.
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—teacher, event organizer, business owner, relocation manager, and facilitator. Each chapter of my life has connected me with diverse people and perspectives, showing me again and again that relationships are the key to navigating challenges, achieving goals, and creating a fulfilling life.
One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned came from attending over fifty funerals. In each eulogy, it wasn’t wealth or achievements that stood out—it was the relationships that person had built and the impact they’d made on others. This shaped my belief that life is about making meaningful connections, creating a ripple effect, and leaving a legacy that matters.
What This Means for You
Because of my story, I understand how challenging networking and conversations can feel. You might feel unsure where to start, uncomfortable putting yourself out there, or uncertain about the value of networking altogether. I’ve been there, and that’s why I’ve made it my mission to support and guide you.
Networking isn’t about small talk or ticking boxes—it’s about building authentic relationships that help you explore new ideas, expand your horizons, and grow into the person or professional you want to be. And I’m here to help you do just that.
How I Can Support and Guide You
Through my work, I help professionals, business owners, and changemakers like you overcome the barriers that make networking feel like a chore. I guide you to:
Recognize the value of networking: It’s not a task to dread—it’s an opportunity to explore, expand, and grow.
Build courage and confidence: Together, we’ll overcome your fears and help you approach conversations with ease.
Turn conversations into opportunities: I’ll show you how to create meaningful interactions that leave a lasting impact.
Whether it’s one-on-one coaching, facilitating networking events, or simply offering a fresh perspective, I’m here to empower you to connect in ways that align with your goals and values.
Let’s Make Every Connection Count
Your story matters, and so does the legacy you’ll leave behind. I’m here to help you build the kind of relationships that not only support your journey but also inspire and uplift others. Together, we can make networking more than just a task—it can become a meaningful part of your personal and professional growth.
So, let’s start with one conversation. Because you are just one step away from exploring, expanding, and growing into the next chapter of your success.
“As The Network Catalyst I want to help you transform the way you approach networking and understand it is a powerful tool, personally and professionally. I want to equip you to better connect, contribute and drive opportunities by reflecting on " how can I make a difference", rather than "what's in it for me.”
