💙 Connection. Clarity. Community.

Our Fall Into Clarity event was such a beautiful reminder of what happens when we come together to have real conversations.

The phenomenal Andrea Dershin Good Life Juice challenged us to look beyond the constant pressure to grow and build, and consider something equally powerful: when is it time to let go, shift direction, or make space for something new?

It was vulnerable. It was inspiring. And it sparked some incredible conversations around the room.

Of course, we brought the NWBN fun factor too! A room of over 60 people full of blue, laughter, new connections, familiar faces, and so much support for one another. 💙

Thank you to everyone who joined us! Thank you our Venue Sponsor Nanaimo Golf Club for always creating such an inviting and beautiful space for our events 💖

Next up… Oktoberfest on October 28! 🍂🍺
We’re ready to start Brewing Connections

We are thrilled about the response for the first event of the new season ♥️

Sometimes, clarity comes from recognizing what we’re ready to release. This September, join NWBN for Fall Into Clarity, an evening of meaningful conversation, community, and connection featuring special guest speaker Andrea Dershin. Andrea Dershin | Founder, Good Life Juice

We put so much energy into building our businesses, careers, reputations, and identities, but rarely stop to consider what it might look like to one day move on from them.

❇️ What happens when what we do becomes part of who we are?

❇️And how do we recognize when something that once fit us beautifully no longer does?

Andrea will explore the relationship between work, identity, and worth, and how thinking about the end of a chapter can actually change the way we approach the one we’re living right now.

As the seasons change, so do our priorities. Join us for an evening of connection, reflection, and fresh perspective with special guest speaker Andrea Dershin.

What happens when what you do becomes who you are?

We put so much of ourselves into building our careers, businesses, reputations and identities. But somewhere along the way, it can become difficult to separate who we are from what we do.

💙 Join us for Fall Into Clarity, presented by Andrea Dershin, for a powerful conversation about work, identity, worth and what becomes possible when we give ourselves permission to evolve.
✳️ You don’t need to own a business to attend!

What if we built successful careers and businesses without believing we had to stay tied to them forever? What if we became more comfortable taking risks, sitting in the unknown and making choices based on what feels right now, rather than what others expect from us?

This conversation explores how clarity can change the way we work today, help us recognize when we’ve outgrown something, and give us the confidence to move forward without having every detail of what comes next figured out.

Because success isn’t always about holding on. Sometimes it’s about building something great, knowing yourself well enough to recognize when things have shifted, and staying free to build again.

💙 Fall Into Clarity - Blue Theme

Come for the connection. Stay for the impact. 🔥

At NWBN, community is at the heart of everything we do. Our monthly events are a place to connect, learn, laugh, grow and genuinely support one another. A place where relationships go beyond exchanging business cards and become friendships, collaborations, referrals, encouragement and opportunities.

And throughout the year, we create even more ways to grow together, including professional development opportunities

Because when we share knowledge, champion each other and create space for everyone to rise, the impact reaches far beyond one evening.

This is more than networking. This is community 💚
