Gia Lili has a gift for asking the kind of questions that help people see new possibilities. We’re pleased to welcome her to Circle Networks.

Based in Southampton, Gia is at an exciting point in her business journey.

Gia’s work draws on her expertise in applied neuroscience, coaching, health and entrepreneurship. She helps people understand how their minds work, reduce mental overload and make more informed choices. She is no longer coaching and is currently refining her direction and delivery model.

Gia brings thought-provoking questions, fresh perspectives and a generous approach to sharing ideas and useful resources. She also has a wide network of contacts who may be valuable to others in the community.

She is looking forward to building supportive relationships, broadening her thinking and meeting people who can help her explore relevant contacts, rooms and opportunities as her business takes shape.

Away from work, Gia loves spending time with family, exploring new places and being by the water. She enjoys experimenting with ideas, flavours, personal styling and dance choreography, and speaks and understands six languages.

Welcome to Circle Networks Gia. We’re glad to have you with us.

3 weeks later and people are still talking about Chris Duckers opening keynote at Circle Networks Live last month.

Not just his content, but what a nice guy, that he was present in the room, he was as approachable… I got a selfie with him and much more.

If you haven’t followed him yet I’d recommend you do.

And take a look at his books:

- The Long Haul Leader
- Virtual Freedom
- Rise of the Youpreneur

I’ve had people tell me they didn’t just enjoy his keynote they’ve taken action already.

Things they knew they should be doing but hadn’t, and new ideas they heard for the first time and went away to implement them.

It’s not just about attending events, it’s the action we take afterwards.

Thanks Chris for making an impact.

What’s working in business building right now?

Doing what you’ve always done might not be the best strategy.

It didn’t work for Blockbuster video or Kodak, and it’s not the right strategy for you. The world is changing.

As we move in to Q4 and the best business time of the year I want to share some of the best things you can do over the next few weeks.

Firstly, build great relationships with the right people. Stop winging it and going to random events just to add more connections.

Going deeper with the right people will help you accelerate your results.

I talk about building your 𝙁 𝙉𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠.
This is the time to map it out.

The 5 people closest to you.
The 15 relationships you want to build with.
The 50 people in your wider network.

These are people you already know.

They deal with your ideal client, and so you can also refer them to your clients and connections, and they can refer you.

I’ve seen people transform their business this year just from getting close to their 5.

The closer people are to you the more time you can invest in them, we can’t have the same amount of time for everyone.

Get it down on paper today.

We have a passion for helping people get what they want in business.

But it’s not for everyone.

Not everyone wants to be helped.

Some people don’t know what they actually want.

But some people just get it…

Julian Brown is one of those people.

He has a great business, he’s exceptionally good at what he does, and now he’s building the right network to foster reciprocity.

I just know when someone sees the long term vision and gets busy helping others first knowing that it’s the right thing to do.

His business - Change Specialists are a consultancy that helps organisations plan and deliver business and technology change.

The team can provide specialist people, advice or hands-on delivery, depending on what the client needs.

Their work includes programme and project delivery, business analysis, digital transformation, PMO and governance, and process improvement.

They also help organisations make sure changes are adopted by the people affected by them.

If you know an organisation that’s implementing a new project or change programme then maybe Julian is the man to help.

Ps we just love this photo from our conference last month. The first time everyone got to meet Julian in person.

They didn’t just take to the stage. They changed the energy, ambition and direction of the entire room.

A huge thank you to every speaker and host who helped make Circle Networks Live 2026 such an unforgettable day.

You brought insight, honesty, energy and real-world experience to the stage. You challenged people to think bigger, take action and recognise just how much becomes possible when the right people are beside us.

Thank you to Ailsa Stinson, Kate Manton and Gareth Williams for guiding us through the day with warmth, humour and incredible energy.

All the speakers shared their knowledge, their stories and, most importantly, themselves. There were no sales pitches and no holding back. Just valuable ideas, meaningful conversations and lessons that people could take away and use immediately.

Events like this may have one person standing on the stage at a time but they are powered by everyone choosing to contribute.

You didn’t simply deliver speaker sessions.

You helped create momentum.

You sparked new ideas, new conversations and new relationships that could change businesses and lives long after the event itself.

Thank you for believing in our mission.

Thank you for giving so generously.

And thank you for showing everyone in the room exactly why 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙁𝙪𝙚𝙡𝙨 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨.

You’re missing opportunities every single day and I want to help you change it.

If someone asked you “who could I introduce you to?”

How would you answer?

I’d hazard a guess it would’ve along the lines of:

“I’d love an introduction to someone who needs…. insert your product or service”.

The pale with that is, it’s too vague someone to easily know who to introduce you to.

What if you had a list of 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 already prepared?

Specific people. Specific businesses.

A list that if you got just one or two of these introductions it would have a disproportionate impact on your business?

I’ve been using this technique for years and have taken hundreds of people through the process.

Some start their list and never finish, or even use it.

Some get to work on their list and start ticking off the introductions. And their business takes off.

What’s really interesting about this is, you don’t need to meet more people, you usually get these introductions from the people you already know.

At our big event on 21st September we’ll have a Dream Wall… your opportunity to ask the whole room for one dream introduction.

And we’ll be running this live during the event.

110 flights a year. 200 nights in hotels. 60+ hour weeks.

There’s comes a point when success makes you question what you actually want from it.

We’re delighted to welcome Russell Towsey, CSL founder of RVT Consulting Ltd to Circle Networks 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚.

Russell spent 25 years building a successful career in sales, eventually becoming Head of Global Sales for a large corporate organisation.

But the seniority came with a big price tag.

He was travelling constantly, working more than 60 hours a week and missing time with his family and friends.

So in November 2024, Russell took the leap and built something of his own.

Today, through RVT Consulting, he works alongside business owners who want to overcome growth challenges and build stronger sales operations.

That can mean becoming their fractional Head of Sales, coaching their sales leaders, or reviewing and improving their sales strategy, infrastructure, management and team.

Russell also has a great story about how he found Circle Networks.

One of our existing Prestige Corporate members, Julian Brown, recognised that the networking Russell was doing wasn’t giving him the calibre of connections he needed and suggested he speak to us.

That introduction led to a conversation between Russell and me.

And now he’s here.

For Russell the objective is simple. Build lasting relationships where there is genuine mutual value.

That’s exactly how we believe business relationships should work.

Welcome to Prestige Luxury Russell.
