Everyone has the right to live, learn and work in safety, free from abuse, harm and neglect

#PeerMeetUp

Peer MeetUp is a brand of Pathway2Grow Business Networking and we like to think we do things differently. The concept of Peer networking has been around for centuries and has been used by some of the most powerful business people in the world and in history.

Peer networking uses the power of those you know and those in your sector to engage in conversations and exchange ideas
Through the exchange of conversations allow people to learn and develop further and in addition to connecting and collaborating

Why #PeerMeetUp?

Peer MeetUp is about connecting and collaborating with the right people
Build your own network and reputation to your target audiences
Gain and share valuable knowledge, experiences
Opportunity to showcase your experience through workshops and raise your profile

How is peer networking different from conventional networking?

Conventional networking is the most popular and most recognisable form of networking. Its about selling your product or service…
Not specific to industry or market
General idea is to bring people together to exchange conversations around what their business is and find people who they could add value too (rarely vice versa)
Attendees collect thousands of business cards, many of whom are no use to them

Peer networking

These networking events are advertised specifically to the target markets
Presented with people in your own sector
Is about coming together with others to share experiences, advice and best practice and to gain inspiration and ideas.

We are keen to work with other Partners who operate in the Youth, Employment and skills sectors to share good practice.

Why is there a need for providers to connect, and collaborate, learn and share even more so than ever before?

Its simply this….our sector is hard and keeps getting harder, but there is no time to mourn the past or to feel sorry for ourselves. Its our job as leaders in our business to adjust to the reality of the current market place which isn’t going to slow down for us.

The real challenge is to see each other as collaborators not competitors and to give before we ask… that and moving fast enough!
