Aligned Connections is not a traditional networking event.

There's no pitching, no working the room, and no pressure to turn every conversation into a business opportunity. Instead, this is a small, intentional gathering built around something simpler: getting to know the person before the profession.

This way, you'll connect with exactly who you're meant to connect with and leave with exactly what you needed, without having to chase either.

Each month, we will begin together with a few minutes to arrive, settle in, and set an intention for the hour. From there, you will move into a breakout room with one or two people and receive a guided prompt to support the conversation.

The prompts are not designed to debate, impress, or prepare a pitch. They are simply there to help you move beyond small talk and have a more genuine conversation.

What you do for work may naturally come up, and that is absolutely welcome. It is simply not the reason you are there.

The goal is to make a human connection.

During the gathering, you will also have the option to share what you do and how people can reach you in the chat. Afterward, we will compile that information and share it with the group, so that if a conversation stayed with you, or you feel curious about someone you met, you can follow up in your own time.

There is no need to exchange contact information during the breakout conversation, no pressure to "make the ask," and no expectation that anything has to come from the connection.

It is one hour of intentional conversation, meaningful connection, and space to be met as a person first.

Whatever grows from there can happen naturally.
