Did You Find Your Three Words?

Speed Networking with Holly Martin | Hunter River Hotel

A huge thank you to the Maitland business community for joining us for an unforgettable evening of energy, connection, and personal brand power at our Speed Networking event with the brilliant Holly Martin.

Held at the newly renovated Hunter River Hotel, the night kicked off with some networking know-how from Holly, who challenged us to think about how we show up—in business and beyond. Her opening tips set the tone for a fun, fast-paced evening of finding your ‘other half’ in the room and building new relationships that were more than just a business card swap.

It was fantastic to see so many of you really connecting—not just with your pitch, but with personality, purpose, and that trademark Maitland business spirit.

Holly shared some gold, and we’ve wrapped up a few key takeaways to keep you inspired:

  • Your brand is built at every touchpoint—what you say, how you say it, and how people feel after meeting you.

  • Only 15% of people have a clear personal brand. Are you one of them? Now’s the time to define your edge.

  • Remember your three words. They should reflect who you are, what you do, and why it matters.

  • Nail your elevator pitch—from the first-floor intro to the penthouse polish. Make every second count.

 Click here for the Personal Brand Tool and keep the momentum going. Share it with your colleagues, your team, or your mentor—it’s too good not to.

To everyone who attended: thank you for showing up and leaning in. You brought the energy and made it a night to remember.

For those who missed it—don’t worry. We’ve got more great events just around the corner, and we can’t wait to connect with you again soon!
