WE’VE INSPIRED HUNDREDS OF BUSINESS OWNERS!
The Challenge:
Business leaders and nonprofits are meant to expand, but true growth goes far beyond gathering leads.
Traditional networking and business development often prioritize transactions over trust, missing the opportunity to build authentic relationships, genuine connection, and collaborative leadership.
In 52 Connections, we believe growth looks different.
It’s powered by intentional connection, shared learning, and relationships that make a meaningful, lasting impact within your organization, and beyond.
The Vision:
We envision a future where networking feels like belonging and where communities feel like home, relationships feel like family, and trust is the foundation of business, not an afterthought.
Through connection-first communities, we aim to create spaces where every person is valued, every story is honored, and sustainable growth happens through relationships that endure.
Our mission is to heal the harm of transactional environments by rebuilding networks that nourish people and businesses alike.
The Investment:
As a member, you will gain intentional opportunities to build relationships across more than 52 industries each year, through weekly networking experiences, professional development workshops, and collaborative learning environments.
Your membership gives you access to 52 weeks of connected opportunities and multiple meaningful touchpoints within our dynamic community ecosystem.
Our mission is to help you connect in ways that foster lasting relationships, create genuine impact, and support meaningful growth both professionally and personally.
How we do it:
We are intentional about who becomes part of 52 Connections, because this isn’t just another networking group.
Each member is thoughtfully vetted to ensure they share our connection-first philosophy.
We seek individuals who lead with curiosity, prioritize relationships over transactions, and are genuinely committed to learning about others both personally and professionally.
In our community, there is no room for competition.
Instead, we celebrate what makes each of us unique: our gifts, skills, and stories.
I would hate for you to miss this...
I hear from people every day who feel anxious, invisible, or disconnected in typical networking spaces. They are completely exhausted by surface-level chatter and the lack of genuine follow-up.
What they’re truly craving is simple:
A place of warmth. Real, meaningful connection. A space where they matter and where their presence is noticed.
If that resonates with you, this is the community we’re creating. I’d hate for you to miss out.
I’d be sad if you missed this…
I talk with people every day who feel anxious, overlooked, and disconnected at networking events. They’re tired of surface-level conversations and forgotten follow-ups.
What they really want is simple:
Warmth. Real connection. A space where they matter.
If that sounds like you too, this is exactly what we’re building. Don’t miss it.

Experts from around the US are invited into our community to share their expertise to our members consistently to learn and develop as well.

Member calendars are shared in our private community, through our shared Calendar apps, and in our email communication. Members always know exactly what opportunities are available and can pre-schedule where they feel they would like to be based on how they would like to spend their connecting and development time. Attendance isn’t mandatory, but encouraged and shared, so members show up with intention when it works best for them. Every opportunity has a room full of consistent and also new connections to meet.

TESTIMONIALS
Jeannette Stein - AI Coach
Huge shoutout to Sara and the 52 Connections Group! I joined around 6 months ago and it’s been an amazing experience for me! I love it for a few reasons! One, it can be lonely networking and this group is supportive and warm. Talking about real issues, and successes and celebrating together has been fantastic. Second, it’s helped me to network outside of the group! Sara is either warming the room or has set up someone else to warm the room for her so it doesn’t feel awkward or hard! Lastly, it’s helped me grow my business. The referrals from this group have been my favorite. These clients have become trusted clients who send me great referrals as well. I couldn’t be more grateful! I highly recommend you jump in!
Andy Maciejewski - Revel Marketing
52 Connections in 52 Weeks has been an invaluable resource for expanding my professional network. The program’s structured approach and helpful tools made it easy to track progress and discover new opportunities for collaboration. I highly recommend it to any organization or individual that is looking to grow and build lasting relationships.
Adrienne Jamail - High Performance Coaching
If you are thinking about joining 52 Connections, I cannot recommend it enough. From the time I met Sara, I felt a warm, and welcoming presence. She is genuinely interested in helping each individual. She pours her heart and soul into her work by creating valuable content and tools for networking and connecting. She takes time to really sit down with each individual and makes an impact on those she comes across. I have had so many great connections come out of this group! I’m so happy I invested in my self and my business! If you ever want to talk more about my experience, I’m happy to!
Collaborations Don't Happen on Accident
We are excited to share this intentional, warm, and connecting space with you!
