Welcome. This page walks you through how the Monday Zoom session works, what to prepare, and how to get the most out of it — so you can walk in feeling ready.
Registration takes about a minute, and you only need to do it once — see below.
Networking Circles is a free, relationship-first business networking community. It exists so that business owners and professionals can meet, understand what each other does, and support one another's growth — through introductions, referrals, collaborations, and business opportunities that build up over time.
Networking Circles meets weekly on Zoom. Register once using the link below, and you're set for every future session.

Zoom sends a confirmation with your unique link. Check spam, promotions, or updates folders if you don't see it.
The same link works every Monday — just the date and time update. No need to register again.
Rishi opens the session and walks everyone through how it will run.
Participants get a chance to introduce themselves to the group.
You're placed in small rooms for focused, ten-minute conversations.
Rooms rotate, so you get to speak with several members across the session.
Back in the main room, there's space for questions, guidance, and feedback before closing.
No formal preparation is required — but a little thought beforehand goes a long way in a short conversation.
You'll be placed in a small breakout room for about ten minutes at a time. Use the time to introduce yourself, listen to the other participants, and look for meaningful ways to connect or help each other — before rooms rotate and you meet someone new.
While breakout rooms are running, you're welcome to stay in the main room instead. Rishi runs a live demonstration of how to use Google Gemini to search the Networking Circles Member Directory — useful if you're looking for a specific kind of member.
Always double-check. Gemini's results should be verified against the actual information in the directory before you rely on them.
If you're in a breakout room and have a question, need clarification, want to give feedback, or would simply rather not continue in the breakout room, you can return to the main room at any time and speak with Rishi directly.
No one gives you business simply because you attended a session — trust is what leads to referrals, and trust builds mainly through consistency: showing up week after week, and taking the time for 1:1 conversations.
Reach out to members you connected with and arrange a 1:1 — on Zoom, over coffee, or at your office.
Share your own details and browse others' to find relevant introductions, referrals, or collaborations.
If a conversation turns into a referral, a collaboration, or a success story, share it with the community.
