This is the room where conversations spark momentum.

• Coffee, pastries and gentle arrival connection
• A 20-minute Guest Expert Spotlight
• Three Community Spotlight sessions (5 minutes each)

🎤 February Guest Expert. Rachel Barber
Hey I'm Rachel. I blend strategy and storytelling to help impact makers and action takers like you attract, nurture and convert the right people by learning to love LinkedIn. So that you can connect with the right clients and make more money on LinkedIn.
I believe when you find your marketing joy, you find your voice. Your voice, your story, your knowledge? It matters. You get to show up on LinkedIn in a way that works just for you.
Beyond my 15 year career as a content marketer and copywriter, my life is made up of standup comedy, social media campaigns for women’s equality, acting.... What ties it all together? My love for telling stories that deserve to be told.
