June Networking - ''Your Voice Is Your Business: How to Speak with Confidence, Connection, and Power—Even When You Feel Like an Outsider”

You don’t need more speaking tips—you need to feel safe enough to be seen. In this session, trauma therapist, speaker mentor, and spiritual teacher Suze Maclaine Pont will guide you into the deeper layers of visibility and presence that most public speaking trainings skip. Learn why people remember you more than your message, and how your nervous system, trauma history, and untold story shape the way you show up. This isn’t about performance. It’s about connection.

You’ll walk away with a powerful shift in how to tell your origin story—not just to share it, but to let people feel you through it so they will want to connect with you.

Suze Maclaine Pont helps powerful people stop performing strength and start showing up from their true self. With a background in shipbuilding and a gift for navigating human depth, she’s worked with thousands of coaches, leaders, and entrepreneurs to unlock their real voice—the one that moves people to tears and makes them unforgettable and… makes them want to buy from you. Her work is about visibility, vulnerability, and the deep safety required to speak in a way that actually connects.

Business networking for small business owners

It can be lonely running a small business so let’s take you away from your desk so you can meet some like-minded business owners to grow your connections.

You need resilience as a business owner, there are so many spinning plates to manage; time, money, resources, and of course finding customers.

Our community is here to listen, help and support.

About your host

From starting a business in The Netherlands as an expat back in 2019 it was hard to get the right answers and find other business owners that were going through the same challenges.

Where do you find information, support, and recommendations without a network?

Over time, from attending events, asking questions, requesting help, and reaching out to people, I started to build a network of people who have provided invaluable support and have opened up many opportunities.

I love getting to know people, their stories, and their challenges, helping them by ‘connecting the dots’ through connections and collaborations.
