NETWORKING is the single most powerful marketing tactic to accelerate and sustain success for any individual or organization!

The Value of
Member Networking

NLBP was brought to fruition out of the need for our special community to find others that understood and respected their specific passion and business. We are a community of like-minded, holistic practitioners and soul-centered entrepreneurs working together to grow our collective professional community.  

We are much more than just a networking group however. We greatly value the importance of deeper interpersonal connections. It is a critical part of your business success. Our many networking opportunities allow you to make connections and share your business with others you know, like, and trust. Be it an intimate member gathering, weekend retreat, or an open zoom meeting, NLBP works as a catalyst to ensure you meet the right people who respect your natural business and/or holistic lifestyle and want to help you grow both personally and professionally.

So Many Ways, So little Time...

Launch Parties
As we grow into a new area, we launch with parties! Launch events are large gatherings open to members and non-members alike who want to hear about the organization and meet new people. We usually have speed networking activities, food, and refreshments. We also highlight our host for the event allowing some time to share about their business. One or two launches can be held in an area before they become member only and they are always free for all that attend.  

Spotlight Networking Events

Morning Coffee

Lunch & Learns

Holistic Happy Hours

Special Events

Online
Each of our monthly networking events is hosted by a like-minded business owner who will be our "spotlight" for the night and will share his/her vision, passion, and journey. Our host chooses the venue, refreshments, and the activities for the evening, so each event is very different and draws an array of fellow members. Our events can be anytime of the week and are usually specific to the host. We try to move around as much as possible within a specific region so everyone gets a short ride at some time. Most events are free for members and future members can join us twice before signing up. Let us know if you wish to host!
Our morning coffee and conversations are held at local coffee shops, diners, and/or a members home or business.  It's an informal gathering of friends and like minded professionals to learn more about each other and talk about current happenings.  There is no presentation just great conversation. Coffee is a great way to introduce yourself and get a feel for the community.  
NLBP develops member only Lunch and Learn educational sessions with local banks, financial institutions, and other business professionals based on business issues that are prominent for entrepreneurial members. These learning sessions enable small business owners to learn from and get professional business advise in a non-competitive, confidential, and professionally facilitated manner. ​ 
Happy hours are a great way to network with the group. We  meet at area restaurants in the bar area and have drinks and food as desired. Everyone is responsible for their own bill. Feel free to bring friends, colleagues, and clients. It's an open Meet & Greet. If you haven't had the time to get to other area events this may be the night to try.  We pick great locations to connect our members for a great night of networking.
Dinners are specially designed, intimate, member only gatherings of 10-25 people. Menus are prepared specifically for the dietary likings of our guests and held at special restaurants or farms that highlight sustainable, fresh food selections. We encourage the chef, farmer or restaurateur to speak with us about the night's dinner while we get to meet and know each other better. Dinners are regional special events and limited to members only and their guests. Tickets must be purchased and sell out quickly. If you know a restaurant that may want to host, please let us know. 
Special events may be held throughout the year by region and are ticketed. It may be a weekend retreat, motivational speaker, or special trip for our members. All events are located on our calendar. If you are interested in getting involved in the planning, please contact us.
Although face-to-face networking is important, we don't always have the time to travel. Attending our live phone discussions, Zoom video conference meetings, professional webinars, and our 24/7 Member Only Open Forum on Facebook.  Interact with other members and grow your business without ever leaving your home.  Special interest member forums and mastermind groups continue to develop  so look for more to launch shortly.
If you have other ideas you'd like to see to help your business please don't hesitate to contact us​.
