Connectworking Dinners
Connect, reflect, and recharge

Join a small group of dynamic, creative women for an evening of deep conversation, new perspectives, and meaningful connections

Are you a woman who thrives on ideas, creativity, and meaningful conversations? Whether you're navigating your own sparky-brained tendencies or simply crave a space for authentic connection, ConnectWorking Dinners are designed for you.

These intimate, dinner-based gatherings bring together a diverse group of professional women - entrepreneurs, leaders, and those "between the trapezes" - for rich discussions over great food.

It’s a space to share stories, exchange insights, and recharge your perspective. Together, we explore curated topics designed to spark inspiration and connection, all while fostering a relaxed and inclusive environment.

You’ll leave with:

  • Fresh ideas and new perspectives to energise your work and life.
  • A deep sense of connection with like-minded women who get it.
  • Renewed clarity about what truly matters to you.

What makes these dinners special?

ConnectWorking Dinners are not your typical networking events. Instead, they’re designed to foster meaningful conversations, authentic connections, and fresh perspectives—all in a relaxed, intimate setting.

Here’s why guests keep coming back:

  • Curated conversations: Thoughtful topics spark rich dialogue and meaningful insights.
  • An intimate setting: With just 10 guests, everyone has the opportunity to contribute, be heard, and build genuine connections.
  • Supportive atmosphere: Honest, open discussions replace pretence, creating a space where creativity and collaboration flourish.
  • Personal touches: From a “Welcome to Dinner” email introducing your fellow guests to conversation starters that facilitate connection and the exchange of ideas, the evenings are lightly and thoughtfully crafted to make you feel at ease and energised.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a professional, or someone ready for their next chapter, these evenings are your opportunity to connect with women who understand the unique balance of ambition, creativity, and personal growth.

How guests describe the evenings

Linda Addison Personal Stylist

LInda Addision Bottle Green and Yellow

Interesting conversations and good food are often promised but rarely delivered. This is not the case with a dinner hosted by Angela. Her event prep includes sending links to articles relevant to the topic - I took action because of one of them with positive results which was fab for me.

For the event itself, Angela is a consummate host from preplanning the seating through to guiding a structured discussion of the theme.

I recommend a dinner hosted by Angela. You will find the food is delish but the conversation which Angela expertly guides more so.

"I am very over the standard networking type events, and this was a breath of fresh air, and just what I needed. It was truly a fantastic evening. The company was so refreshing, and honest, and supportive right from the get-go. No facades, or pretences, but genuine sharing of the experience of being a human forging your own purposeful business... I felt buoyed and inspired during and afterwards, and learnt so much".

"It's just so good to connect with other women to widen my outlook. It's been incredibly busy but a little lonely lately. The discussion widened my perspective, and it was really refreshing to meet other women in such different areas and on different journeys. The group dynamic worked well with everyone able to have a voice - we could have chatted for many more hours!

You completely nail the right amount of chat and the right amount of interaction and constructive discussion. You are such an inspiration, and I am incredibly fulfilled each time we connect".

Kylie Holyland Executive Coach Ascend HR

"I arrived with curiosity and an open mind and left heartful – and wiser – Angela encouraged meaningful conversation and connections between us and we all left replete in mind and appetite.

It was wonderful - no one had an agenda, everyone was humble and appreciative, we were all curious and grateful to be in the space that had been created. I enjoyed the diversity of women at the table and the depth of intimacy that was achieved so quickly. I thought that the women who attended were interesting, kind, compassionate and intelligent".

"I detest mainstream networking events, mainly because they’re usually at a ridiculously early time of the day but also because I don’t feel I’m making real or valuable connections with the other attendees. This event sounded intriguing - deeper and more meaningful than a traditional networking event so I arrived with an open mind and a hopeful heart.

I enjoyed everything! The conversations and connections were fascinating and much deeper than any other event. This is like no other business event you’ve ever attended. Get ready to be enlightened, uplifted and energised!".

Kim Crowley Personal Stylist Style Sense

"Your expertise, approach and philosophy is incredible and I find it fascinating to listen to you and to meet the women you work with. I LOVE the way you bring women together in a relaxed yet professional way, that’s a very fine line to walk. The evening was informative, insightful, fun, connective, reassuring, inspiring - particularly when you hear women who have been to some dark places and come back stronger than ever"

Who's your host?

Angela Raspass - Business Strategist, Mentor and Facilitator

Hi, I'm Angela Raspass. I work with sparky-brained women who are brimming with creativity and potential but often find themselves:

  • Stuck in Priority Pinball, bouncing between decisions and struggling to focus.
  • Riding the Confidence See-Saw, swinging between bold ambition and self-doubt.
  • Experiencing Popcorn Brain, where every idea feels equally exciting and urgent.

These dynamics can make business and life feel isolating, especially when you're navigating challenges on your own. That’s why I created ConnectWorking Dinners - a space where meaningful connections and honest conversations help you step away from the overwhelm and reconnect with what matters most.
