Description
Join us for our first Waikato Waahine Collective event of the year! If you love the idea of networking but aren’t sure where to start, or sometimes feel a bit shy, this is the perfect opportunity to boost your confidence.
Expert facilitator Tracey Olivier will share practical tips to help you network with ease, followed by time to put your new skills into practice with fellow waahine.
Nibbles will be provided, and a cash bar will be available to keep the conversation flowing. Come along, connect, and learn how to build meaningful connections in a supportive, friendly environment.
Tracey Olivier - Leadership Coach & Facilitator
Before stepping into her work in leadership and organisational health, Tracey cut her teeth in the world of connection.
While living in South Africa, she founded a networking business (KBN) that grew to five thriving chapters across Durban, bringing business owners and leaders together in a way that felt both purposeful and relational. Over three years, she built and facilitated spaces where connections turned into real opportunities, partnerships, and long-term relationships.
Alongside this, she launched and ran Connect Magazine, a platform dedicated to showcasing local businesses, telling their stories, and strengthening the wider business community.
This wasn’t networking for the sake of it. It was about creating ecosystems where people felt seen, valued, and connected... something that continues to shape how Tracey approaches networking today.
Thank you to our venue partner Waikato Innovation Park and hospitality partner Weave Eatery.
