Welcome to our free online recurring networking group for neurodivergent business owners and those who are looking to start a business, facilitated by Nathanael. This is a safe space for neurodivergent (self diagnose friendly, all are welcome), BIPOC, LGBTIA, Disability, and other marginalized groups to share business advice, offer support, and collaborate on business ideas. Our meetings are kept small with a maximum of 10 people per group, allowing for meaningful connections and individual attention. As a facilitator, I am here to host the meeting and ensure that everyone has a chance to participate. If there is anything that happens that is offensive, please feel free to email me (nathanael@nlbookkeeper.com) or feel free to speak up during the group. We want this to be a comfortable space, free from hate speech, discrimination, fascism, racism, or any other forms of oppression. So come join us and start making valuable connections today!  

Our meetings are designed to be flexible and open, while still providing a clear structure to help ensure that everyone has a chance to participate and benefit from the group. Here's a general outline of what you can expect during each meeting:

Introductions: At the beginning of each meeting, we'll start with introductions. This will give everyone a chance to share their name, business, and a little bit about themselves. 

Updates: After introductions, we'll have a round of updates where each person can share what they've been working on since the last meeting. This is a great opportunity to share your progress, ask for feedback, and offer support to others. 

Q&A and Brainstorming: We'll also set aside time for Q&A and brainstorming sessions. This is an opportunity to share your challenges, ask questions, and get feedback from other members. We encourage open dialogue and creative problem-solving. 

Guest Speakers or Presentations: Some meetings may include a guest speaker or a presentation by a group member. This is a chance to learn from experts in the field, share insights, and discuss new ideas.
