No More Chasing Strangers

We are intentional with our time together for greater impact.

52 Connections is a Networking Community for Business Leaders, Nonprofits, and Entrepreneurs. We ditch the silly pitch, and focus on opportunities that can be easily missed when not intentional.

Hi!

I’m Sara, and I love to make connecting easy…

because, I believe every leader has a purpose, and purpose was never meant to be lived out alone. Nothing meaningful is ever built in isolation.

Behind every success story are the people who opened doors, shared wisdom, referred opportunities, and walked alongside the journey.

That’s why 52 Connections exists. We are not another networking group. We are a vetted hybrid community of business leaders, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs who are tired of surface-level chatter, pitch-heavy rooms, and wasted time.

Here, you won’t find transaction chasers or the “always selling” crowd. We have already proudly done the work of vetting, so you don’t have to. Instead, you’ll meet the right people right away. They are the ones who see you, trust you, and want to grow alongside you.

Through intentional in-person and virtual opportunities, workshops, and a private member hub, 52 Connections is where you find belonging, build relationships that matter, and grow in both business and purpose.

If you’re looking for a place where your presence is noticed, your voice is valued, and your purpose is multiplied by the people around you, welcome to the table. This is the community you’ve been searching for.

TESTIMONIALS


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!

52 Connections has been absolutely amazing for my business! I love the warm networking feel! The masterclasses and workshops have taught me so much! There is a great variety of people and topics. There is no way I could have gained all of this knowledge somewhere else. I highly suggest you join! It’s worth every penny and more AND you will not be disappointed!


I’ve been part of this networking community for a couple of weeks now. I’m so happy I joined for a couple of reasons. I have already met some amazing business owners in the first couple of meetings. There is a variety of industries that are involved, which I like, multiple opportunities to network online and in person, workshops, and many opportunities to be involved and network. That’s what I love about this group. If you are looking for an awesome networking group, worth every dime, 52 Connections is the way to go!

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!

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.

It’s not the networking that grows your industry/organization…

It’s how you connect and develop during your networking, that makes it successful or not.
