Hi, I’m Fiona

I felt lonely and that I didn’t belong…

Owning a business can be a lonely experience. I know this more than anyone! For over two and a half decades I worked in the corporate world, in sales and marketing, and I was surrounded by clients, colleagues, team members and community daily.

In 2019, I started my own business, as a solo-preneur in the world of coaching. This was the best move I had ever made! I was my own boss, with a clear vision for the business and I immediately started seeing success.

However, working as a solo business owner can be lonely. I loved my new change in life, but boy, did I miss connection, professional friendships and the opportunity to do business with people in my ‘tribe’.

So, with this, I started networking and I created great friendships with trusted business owners. Soon, I was developing opportunities and enjoying reciprocal business. Soon, those professional contacts I made became another arm to my sales function, and before I knew it, I was surrounded by a circle of trusted friends and cheerleaders, my business was growing in revenue, I was being offered opportunities to speak at events, new client business was growing and I felt a huge belonging.

And so, the result for me from business networking was improved revenue, greater profits, the creation of my inner circle.

But I knew, I could help make it even better! I knew that with the right partners, resources, backing and vision, I could be a part of making networking more meaningful, with greater impact, community and connection.

In 2019, I met Fabio Mazzieri, at a networking group. After connecting a few times, we met for coffee, and before long, I was coaching Fabio as he pioneered and developed his own networking group. Within a month or so of us finishing his 1:1 programme, Fabio was hosting his first paid networking group with 50 businesses in the room, with a guest speaker. It was a HUGE success.

I joined Soulciété in September 2019, and I haven’t looked back since. This is an incredible community with out-of-this-world resources, and being a part of this amazing space, has changed my life exponentially.

So, here’s where I am passionate. I am passionate about bringing people together and creating a safe shared space for connection. I am passionate about collaboration, as I firmly believe we are even stronger when we come together. I am passionate about my spirituality and having a space to share that confidently.

I am excited to be a part of this amazing venture and I urge you to take advantage of this incredible offer!

Hi, I’m Fabio

I knew I could take networking to the next level…

I left the corporate world mid 2018 after spending years as an Account Director responsible for 2 major global logistics companies. I, like Fiona, had a team of people around me going from meeting to meeting daily and chatting to hundreds of people each week.

I started a business mid 2018 with a business partner who was not a fan of networking or interacting with a lot of people. He was the back end of the business and I the front-end showman.

At an Awards Dinner later that year I met someone who introduced me to networking. I joined a group and I saw lots of business being exchanged and companies doing extremely well from networking, but I wasn’t getting the referrals, was struggling with my business and becoming a little frustrated with the pressure of finding referrals every week with none in return.

It really got me thinking about bringing my own business community together so we could connect and collaborate whilst supporting each other’s business in a relaxed, natural business meeting exchange.

In 2019, I met Fiona Drake at one of the meetings. After connecting a few times, we met for a coffee and Fiona agreed to coach me.

I told Fiona that I was going to create my own business networking group! Within weeks of us finishing the coaching sessions, I had launched my first taster networking group in the December and then the first paid networking meeting in January 2020 and Fiona was our first guest speaker presenting to over 50 businesses.

I have followed Dr.Erin on social media for quite a while and in April of this year I jumped at the opportunity of joining Soulciete and have since found my calling and purpose in life!

The community is so amazing and supportive, and I have taken Quantum Leaps in both my personal and professional life in the short months I have been part of Soulciété.

So, what are my core values?

Community and Connection – I am passionate about bringing spiritually aware people together to connect in a safe space to be able to connect.

Collaboration – In my opinion, this is key for the world of business these days and can help x10 your business.

I am so passionate and excited about being part of this venture. Come and join us!
