Transformational Leaders Collective

The Connection Collective brings people together through real stories, shared experiences and human connection — creating community, nurturing belonging and helping reduce social and emotional isolation.
Connection shouldn’t be something we have to navigate alone.
People can be surrounded by others and still feel lonely, socially disconnected or emotionally isolated.
The Connection Collective creates real-world opportunities for people to meet, listen, share and feel part of something — because meaningful connection and belonging are important parts of a healthy community.
Join us for an intimate community evening where storytellers share true personal stories inspired by a different theme each month.
The theme gives the evening a shared starting point, but every story is unique, funny, moving, surprising or reflective. Each story lasts up to eight minutes and comes from lived experience.
Come as a storyteller or as a listener. No speaking experience is required, just a real story and a willingness to share. Leave feeling more connected.
You can join us in one of two ways:

1. 🎤 As a storyteller, sharing an 8 minute true story

• Your story might be about being seen, accepted or included.
• It might be about finding your people, discovering where you fit
• Or experiencing the feeling of coming home.

2. 👂 As an audience member, coming along to listen and connect
   There’s something powerful about hearing real stories from real people.
   We begin to recognise ourselves in each other and discover just how connected we already are.

If you’re considering sharing a story but don’t feel completely ready, this is your invitation to answer the call to be courageous, and improvise some parts of it along the way 😉

Sometimes, we only recognise the growth after we’ve taken the step.

We live in a world where bad news travels fast, fear grabs our attention, and negativity has had decades to occupy our mental real estate. What if, for once, we turned the tables? What if we flooded our surroundings with so much goodness that it became impossible not to know it, feel it, and be it?

Welcome to "Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity" where we take our best finds and see what happens when we broadcast it on everyone around us.

This isn't about pretending life is perfect or forcing ourselves to be happy. It's about deliberately creating hope for hope's sake, then seeing what happens when this new energy gives people permission to flourish, heal, and become positivity beacons themselves.

Expect more expressions of goodness than you've ever experienced packed into 3 hours. Some of you will immediately know you need this right now as you read this invitation. Others might not realise how much they've needed it until afterwards because sometimes, the busyness of life gets in the way of noticing, appreciating and sharing good news.

Because positivity isn't just something we can cultivate within ourselves. It's something we can give and multiply...

Who is this for?

• anyone surrounded by toxic environments or negative people
• those who need to communicate optimism and convince others to embrace positivity, whether professionally or as a business owner
• people who would benefit from connecting with a diverse network of humans working to make the world a better place in different fields

What will happen?

• exercises to discover what brings people to life and learn what makes each other tick
• team challenges that turn feelings of joy, awe and ecstasy into expressions of goodness for others to experience
• simulations to explore and practice the power of words, thus honing in awareness of how the way we communicate matters a lot

What will you get out of it?

• leave very, very, very positive about yourself and others
• learn techniques and tools to make positivity feel more natural and become your new default
• gain a greater appreciation of your own influence in the world
