Anti Networking Networking Club

You don't hate networking.

You hate the hyper-individualistic, inauthentic, draining version that our extractive capitalist work culture has convinced us is what "networking" means.

Welcome to the Anti Networking Networking Club

This is where we do it differently.

The Anti Networking Networking Club is a blatantly irreverent name but stands ten-toes down in building collective power through thriving networks that strengthen our capacity to create collaborative, cooperative, financially sustainable values-aligned work and to build the networked ecosystems through which capital, resources, and opportunity flow toward the people and projects that need them most.

We are here to build networks that work.

Core Principles

꩜ Collective Power = Individual Thriving. We are rooted in Solidarity Economy principles of solidarity, cooperation, community investment, economic democracy, and collective liberation.

꩜ Transparency as Care. We name real things with real talk – needs, budgets, scope, capacity, defined asks and offers – to facilitate direct connections that meet clear individual, organizational, and business needs.

꩜ Curated Connection. Virtual and IRL gatherings are curated to who is in the room and designed to facilitate and "seed" actionable connections that grow beyond our gathering.

꩜ Regenerative Reciprocity. We give generously of our time and resources based on our capacity and generously receive what others have to give based on our needs. This ebbs and flows individually but builds and expands our collective capacity to (re)generate what we need.

꩜ Defiant Joy. We name and do not bypass the f*kery we are all navigating and we commit to building authentic connections with irreverent humor and defiant joy.

Monthly-ish Events

Anti Networking Networking Club Meetups

🗓️ Monthly virtual gathering on Zoom (and soon-to-be IRL)

🗓️ Facilitated meeting to introduce yourself, what you do, what work you are developing, what job-search or hiring connections you are looking for, resulting in concrete connections for follow-up when there is shared interest.

🗓️ Participants fill out brief questions prior to the meeting with your introduction and details so you know who is in the room, easily map connections, and create follow-up opportunities (with consent).

Social Impact Entrepreneur Strategy Sessions

🗓️ Semi-regular small group session for founders, consultants, and practitioners building social impact work.

🗓️ Each session brings together a small cohort for a structured, facilitated group coaching strategy session, facilitated by Jenn Schindel, PhD as a strategic thought partner and business coach.

🗓️ Join the Anti Networking Networking Club to receive direct invitations to register.
