JR Networking
At JR’s Networking Events, we’re redefining the essence of networking by bringing together businesses, influencers, entrepreneurs, and creatives from the arts industry for a cause that matters. Our unique gatherings are not just events but a movement towards fostering genuine connections, promoting great causes, and building a supportive community across regions, both locally and nationally.
I started JR PAT Testing in 2014 having spent a lifetime in Corporate business and Recruitment. I wanted to do something as far removed from wearing pin stripe suits and endless meetings and presentations as I could, and most importantly I wanted to work in environments where I could just be myself and offer a totally genuine personal service. My other great motivation is that the older I get the more I really want to give back to life. This is driven by a love and respect for people, for my work colleagues, our customers and the absolute desire to put kindness, kind thoughts, smiles and laughs above everything else.
The business has grown from me out on the road 24-7 into a national business with teams of PAT engineers up and down the country in all regions.
Benefits of JR Shout Out Networking Events
Highlighting Charities and Great Causes
Each event is centered around a headline charity or great cause, aiming to create awareness and encourage attendees to promote the headliner through their own platforms. This approach not only supports worthy causes but also fosters a sense of community and purpose among participants.
Nurturing a Supportive Environment
A significant aim of these events is to move away from typical superficial networking, instead creating a safe space for attendees to buddy up, mentor each other, and form lasting, supportive relationships. This approach humanizes networking and emphasizes kindness, support, mentoring, and inspiration as core values.
Community Building and Inclusivity
The networking events serve as a foundation for building a SHOUT OUT community across regional and national levels. By banning direct business promotion during the 'Walk On Stage' segment and employing a random business card draw for buddying partners, the events promote inclusivity and organic interaction. This strategy encourages attendees to listen and connect with one another on a personal level, leading to natural business traction and a strong sense of belonging within the community.
Engagement and Entertainment
The incorporation of a charismatic and amusing host is crucial to the success of these events. The host's role includes setting a welcoming tone, sharing unique anecdotes, and encouraging attendees to participate in 'Walk On Stage'—a segment where individuals can share stories, perform, or entertain in any form without promoting their businesses. This engagement strategy ensures an entertaining streak runs through the event, making it memorable and fostering genuine connections.
