I showed a room full of entrepreneurs a picture of a table.
With the Arsenal Football Club crest above it.
And the words "Your Team" below
Half the room laughed.
Half the room felt it.
Either way — everyone remembered it.
That was the point.
It was an Orange Corners masterclass I delivered on aka the art of how to walk into a room and actually be remembered — not just met.
It was January. The Premier League season still had everything to play for.
And that's exactly where most of these entrepreneurs were too — early, uncertain, with talent but not yet trophies.
So I made the connection:
"Whether you're a Gooner, a jealous London club fan, or someone who has never watched a single match in your life — you just saw that slide and something happened in your head.
That's networking.
I didn't need you to love football. I just needed to give you something that would live rent-free in your mind and enable me to be remembered."
The people who get remembered aren't the ones with the best pitch. They're the ones who walk in with conviction. With a point of view. With something worth repeating at dinner after the event.
A laugh. A take. A slide with a table and a football crest.
The best networkers and the best clubs share three things:
⚽ They have an identity. You always know what you're getting. Consistency is credibility.
⚽They build for the long game. January is not May. Don't let early results write the final story.
⚽They make people feel something. Passion is memorable. Passion with direction is unstoppable.
To every entrepreneur still in their 'January; — still building, still believing, still in it:
Keep playing your game. The table isn't final yet.
🔴 Smash share if you're a
And if you're not a Gooner… share it anyway. The lesson still applies. 😉
