We created Uncommon Experiences because we dislike traditional networking but love genuine connections. Talking to interesting people who are interested in us. If we couldn’t find this, then others must be having the same issue. We eliminated everything people dislike about conventional networking to make an intimate, highly curated, invitation-only experience and community. Complete with a connection framework designed to accelerate the building of relationships and mutual understanding without being “sold to.” This is Un-Networking.
It’s Common Sense, yet almost every other networking event doesn’t understand the audience attending. Who they are as a person or what’s most important to them. People want to work with those that they like, and to like someone, you must know them. The stronger the relationship, the more connected you are. The more connected you become, the longer business relations will last. We understand you are more than what you do, and celebrate and showcase this. We don’t guarantee leads; we enhance relationships. We remove the uncertainty around who you should be introduced to and why. We eliminate superficial small talk, such as “So what do you do?” to move beyond the mundane conversation about COVID, sports, or house prices. We focus on ensuring everyone quickly builds deep connections and high levels of trust. You will not be met with hundreds of business cards thrown at you or a room of people selling, and no one listening. We call this Business Relations (BR). We are told we are different. We like to think everyone should receive this level of respect.
We promise that at each Uncommon Experience you attend, you will leave us more inspired, energised, connected, and motivated than when you walked in. When was the last event you attended that offered this kind of promise?
