Is this for you?

If any of these sound familiar,
you're in the right place.

This session is for founders, consultants, coaches, recruiters and business owners who want more opportunities, referrals and real relationships — without feeling like they have to become someone else to get them.

✓
You've sat in the car park debating whether to actually go in
✓
You've left an event wondering what the point was
✓
You feel like everyone else got a networking memo you missed
✓
Rooms drain you more than they energise you
✓
You know relationships matter — you just can't face the usual approach

Know the term

What is a
Reluctant Networker?

A Reluctant Networker is someone who knows relationships matter — who understands that opportunities, referrals and clients come through people — but who finds the traditional approach to networking exhausting, draining, or fundamentally wrong for how their brain works.

Not someone who's bad at it. Someone who's been doing the wrong version of it.

🧠

Often introverts or ambiverts

Rooms cost them energy. They process differently. They need time to warm up — and the standard networking format doesn't give them that.

🤝

Frequently recovering people-pleasers

They say yes to events they don't want to attend, stay longer than they should, and leave feeling like they still didn't do it right.

⚡

Brilliant one-to-one, invisible in groups

Put them in a genuine conversation and they're exceptional. Put them in a room of 80 strangers with name badges and they disappear into the buffet table.

🎯

Have tried the standard advice

"Just get yourself out there." They've tried. It was draining, inconsistent, and didn't produce the results the extroverts promised it would.

"The problem was never you. It was the rooms you were being sent to — and the advice written by people who find those rooms energising."

Becs Cooper · Founder, Network Your Way

What you'll discover

Thirty minutes that change
how you think about rooms.

01

Why some rooms create opportunities and others drain your energy

It's not about your confidence. It's about fit. You'll understand the difference in minutes.

02

How to identify the events actually worth your time

Four questions. Two minutes. Cuts the noise before you've even left the house.

03

A simple framework to choose the right rooms

The Right Room Framework — built for people whose energy isn't infinite and whose time isn't free.

04

How to get in the room, make it count, and leave with something real

Practical, specific, and designed for people who find the standard advice useless.

The Right Room Framework

Four questions.
Two minutes. Every time.

Before you say yes to any event, ask yourself these four questions. You'll use them for the rest of your career.

👥
People
Will you actually want to meet who's in the room?
🎯
Purpose
Does this align with where you're trying to go?
⚡
Energy
Will this fill your tank or drain it?
💰
Return
Is this worth the time, cost and recovery?

Your host

Built by someone who finds
networking draining too.

I'm Becs Cooper — founder of Network Your Way, ILM Level 5 trained coach, EMCC governed, and someone who spent years going to the wrong rooms and wondering why networking felt so hard.

I have 20+ years in recruitment and people development. I've watched thousands of smart, capable people show up to networking events and leave with nothing — not because they lacked skill, but because they were in the wrong rooms doing it the wrong way for their brain.

Network Your Way is built for the brain I've got. Easily drained. Allergic to small talk. Quietly brilliant once in the right room. If that sounds like you, this session is yours.

Questions

Everything you want
to know before registering.

Yes. Completely free. No upsell in the middle. No hidden booking fee. Just a practical 30-minute session with Becs.
The Right Room Framework is a four-question filter developed by Becs Cooper to help reluctant networkers decide which events are worth their time before they commit. The four questions cover People, Purpose, Energy, and Return. It takes two minutes and saves hours of wrong-room exhaustion.
Yes. Network Your Way is for introverts, ambiverts, and anyone who finds traditional networking draining or pointless — not just people who identify as introverts. If you've ever left an event wondering why you bothered, this is for you.
Most networking advice was written by people who find rooms energising. This session is built specifically for people who don't — with practical tools designed for how reluctant networkers actually think and operate, not how extroverts wish everyone did.
Register your place and you'll receive any follow-up materials directly. The best way to get the most from it is to attend live — it's only 30 minutes.
You'll leave with the Right Room Framework and a clearer idea of what networking can look like for you. If you want to go deeper, Becs offers 1:1 coaching through Elevatus Coaching and the full six-stage Network Your Way programme is opening as a founding cohort later in 2026.

Thirty minutes.
A filter you'll use forever.

Free. Online. No fluff. Just the framework and a conversation that might change how you think about networking for good.
