The connections you build will shape the opportunities you find

the age of Ai and networking

JOIN ME ON 29TH APR AT 12PM NZT FOR A 90-MIN WORKSHOP TO...

Networking in the Age of AI

The world of work has changed

AI is accelerating everything 

More applications

More automation

More competition for the same roles

 

And yet — one thing is becoming more valuable, not less: 

 

Human connection

 

  • Around 70–85% of roles are filled through networks and referrals 

  • Many of the most interesting opportunities are never advertised 

  • As AI increases the volume of applicants, standing out online is getting harder 

 

 

So the question becomes: 

 

How do you position yourself in a world where applying online is no longer enough?

Corporate Networking Event

Let’s talk about networking

But not the kind you’re thinking of. 

 

Not awkward small talk. 

Not forced conversations in a conference room. 

Not “selling yourself” to strangers. 

 

That version of networking doesn’t work for most people. 

 

And honestly — it’s not what creates real opportunities.

This workshop will show you a different way

A more natural, strategic, and human approach to networking that fits how work actually happens today. 

 

Because networking isn’t just about getting a job. It’s about: 

 

  • Understanding what’s out there (beyond job boards) 

  • Exploring new industries and career paths 

  • Having real conversations that give you insight and clarity 

  • Getting closer to decision-makers 

  • Being thought of when opportunities arise 

  • Positioning yourself where things are happening 

 

This is how the hidden job market works.

In this 90-minute live workshop, you’ll learn:

The New World of Work: Why Human Connection Matters More Than Ever

How AI is changing the job market — and why the human algorithm is now your greatest advantage

A More Human Way to Network (Even If You’re an Introvert)

What networking actually is (and isn’t), and how to approach it in a way that feels natural, genuine, and aligned with who you are

Turning Conversations into Opportunity
 

How to have meaningful conversations, explore new directions, and access opportunities beyond job ads — including the hidden job market

This is for you if:

  • You feel stuck relying on job boards or online applications 

  • You’re considering a career change and want to explore what’s possible 

  • You know networking matters… but don’t know how to do it in a way that feels like you 

  • You want to future-proof your career in a rapidly changing world 

  • You’re ready to take a more proactive, intentional approach to your work

What you’ll walk away with:

✅ A clear, modern understanding of networking 

✅ Practical ways to start (immediately) 

✅ A mindset shift that makes networking feel easier and more natural 

✅ Confidence to reach out and have meaningful conversations 

✅ A strategy you can use again and again throughout your career

Hi, I'm Liz!

I'm a life and career coach on a mission to help you find the career that feeds your soul (and your finances).

I know how tough it is to feel stuck in your career, with no idea what comes next, or how to change things for the better. I started life as a clinical researcher, but just a couple of years into this career path I'd spent so long training for, I found myself burnt out, hating work, and terrified of making a change.

All of that changed when I started looking inward to define my next career step.

Since then, I've helped over 1,000 career changers dig into their souls, test their theories against the real world, and secure the ideal role without creating financial instability.

I've built a sustainable, wonderful life with a lucrative career I love, and I've been able to work with my dream clients every single day.

ALL of this is possible for you.

I want to help you let go of the fear holding you back, find the career that feeds your soul, and build a plan to GET it.​

No more fearing the 9 to 5, no more gritting your teeth through the day, no more wondering, 'what if?'. Here's to never dreading another Monday again!

Let's get you on your path.

A note from me

After working with hundreds of clients, I see this all the time: 

 

People rely heavily on job ads… 

 

When in reality, many of the best opportunities are happening elsewhere. 

 

Networking is one of the most powerful tools you have — not just to get a job, but to find the right work for you. 

 

And in a world where AI is doing more and more… 

 

The human factor is becoming your greatest advantage.

So, what makes me different?

I’ve been where you are.

I’ve experienced that pit-in-your-stomach feeling of knowing you’re in the wrong job.

I’ve made the bold leap into a new career, and a new life.

I’ve become a mum (four times over!) and navigated all its unique challenges.

I’ve helped my husband start a business with over 90 staff in five locations, so I know first-hand the journey of a start-up plus what employers are looking for.

I’ve got an open mind, and a genuine love for helping people.

But most of all, I love, love, LOVE my clients. 
And they love me, too!
