Tired of networking events that leave you feeling drained instead of energised?

We get it. The forced small talk, the pressure to “sell yourself,” the pile of business cards you’ll never use. Traditional networking often adds stress rather than relieving it.

What if networking could actually make you feel better?

Welcome to Stress Less, Talk More

This isn’t your typical networking event. We’ve flipped the script entirely.

Instead of elevator pitches, you’ll have meaningful conversations. Instead of collecting contacts, you’ll make genuine connections. Instead of performing, you’ll just be human.

What Actually Happens

🧠 Brief Wellbeing Session – Our Stress Specialist shares practical insights about mental health and authentic connection (no boring lectures, promise!)

🗣️ Guided Group Conversations – Small groups with coaching-style prompts that help you have the conversations that matter

🤝 Genuine Connection – Space to talk about what’s really going on, what you need support with, and what’s energising you right now

The Venue That Gets It

We’ve partnered with Human Spaces in Leeds – a revolutionary space where every detail has been designed with wellbeing in mind. From the lighting to the furniture layout, this environment actually supports your mental health rather than draining it.

Because where you meet matters as much as how you meet.

Who Should Come?

• Professionals feeling burnt out by traditional networking
• Anyone seeking authentic connections over transactional exchanges
• Leaders who want to prioritise wellbeing in their professional lives
• People navigating career transitions who need supportive community
• Humans who believe business relationships should feel, well… human

What You’ll Leave With

✓ Practical stress management tools you can use immediately ✓ Genuine connections with like-minded professionals ✓ A refreshed perspective on what networking can actually feel like ✓ Energy instead of exhaustion (imagine that!)
