Who We Are and How We Do it.
Business Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Nonprofits!
52 Connections is on a mission to transform the way businesses and nonprofits communicate and collaborate. We achieve this through a highly intentional and engaging networking and business development community.
Move over traditional networking
52 Connections is redefining how businesses and nonprofits communicate, emphasizing an intentional, community-driven approach for building genuine, long-lasting relationships.
52 Connections challenges outdated, uncomfortable networking methods and strategies, inviting participants to explore a more supportive and effective environment.
Connect and with a different intention
Instead of feeling pressured to network everywhere and all the time, this community encourages meaningful connections and collaborations without the usual discomfort or anxiety of attendance mandates.
Intentional Business Development and Leadership
Members discover new ways to network and learn from one another with purpose, develop consistent partnerships, referrals, and collaborations that offer real, enduring benefits for businesses and nonprofits alike.

WE’VE INSPIRED HUNDREDS OF BUSINESS OWNERS!
The Challenge:
Business leaders and nonprofits are built to grow but growth isn’t just about collecting leads.
Too often, traditional networking and business development focus on transactions over trust, leaving little space for real connection, meaningful relationships, or collaborative leadership.
At 52 Connections, we believe growth happens differently through intentional connection, shared learning, and relationships that create lasting impact both inside and outside your business.
The Vision:
To redefine networking by building communities that feel like home, relationships that feel like family, and spaces where business is built on trust, not transactions.
To lead a movement of connection-first communities where people are seen, stories are shared, and businesses grow from relationships that last
We hope to
restore what’s been lost in transactional spaces and create room for relationships that grow people and businesses from the inside out.
The Investment:
Membership begins at $62 monthly for nonprofits and $82 monthly for Business Owners.
Our members have intentional opportunities to build relationships across 52+ industries every year through 52 weekly networking and professional development experiences, and collaborative learning.
Your investment provides you 52 Weeks of connected opportunities with several touchpoints in our membership ecosystem.
The goal is to connect in ways that create lasting relationships, real impact, and meaningful growth for your business, personally and professionally
How we do it:
We’re intentional about who joins 52 Connections because this isn’t just another networking group. Our members are vetted and all align with the same connection-first philosophy.
We look for people who lead with curiosity, who value relationships over transactions, and who are committed to learning about others both personally and professionally.
Here, competition has no place.
We honor what makes each of us different. Our gifts, skills, our stories and we create space to listen well so we can champion one another with clarity and confidence beyond this community.
We would 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. Where people notice when they aren't in the room, and where they can show up on the good days and also the challenging ones, knowing they will be equally supported.
If that sounds like what you are looking for too, this is exactly what we’re building. Don’t miss it.

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!
