I’m still on a bit of a high three hours after today’s 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 men’s business networking event finished.

It wasn’t perfect. A few men dropped out quite late in the day. I didn’t stick to time. I didn’t cover everything I had planned to. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦. And several of them plan to meet up socially as soon as they can manage it. And yes, some are going to connect professionally too (for my part, I will be asking a couple of them if they want to speak at Tauranga’s first ever men’s mental health conference later in the year that a couple of men and I are creating).

And the feedback was awesome - I will share this when I have collated it all.

Two of the attendees were professionals who also work with men experiencing mental health challenges, and they both said I am creating something great.

The next in-person session will be a midweek one, at The Tauranga Club, on Weds 22nd July, hopefully 12.30-2pm, but I will confirm this later - definitely on 22nd July though.

So today I made imperfect progress. My recovering perfectionist wasn’t fully happy, but the attendees were, so I need to listen to them more than my inner critic!

This post goes out to the professional / business men / male leaders of Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty.

If you like business networking (or the idea of it), but not the sound of the events themselves, why not try a 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 event?

They are for small groups of men (max 15 men at a session).

The groups are curated so that the men are all on a similar wavelength with regard to their wellbeing, connecting with other men and being part of a longer-term male business community.

It is a kind, supportive space, not at all intimidating or overwhelming, where you can learn about mental wellness, really connect with your fellow attendees, and get some decent networking done.

Around half the men who attended the last session a month ago have already met up since that meeting for coffee, tennis, golf and work conversations.

I still have a couple of places left at tomorrow morning's event if you are free at this late stage and want to give it a try.

It's on 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞, 𝟗.𝟑𝟎-𝟏𝟏.𝟎𝟎𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛.

If you can't make it to this one but are interested, email me at [email protected] and I will book you in for the next one.

Looking forward to meeting you!

The next Good Man Network event is happening this coming Thursday morning, and only a few spaces remain.

The feedback from the first session was better than I could have hoped for. One attendee described it as:

“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰.”

Another said:

“𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱.”

And my favourite piece of feedback was this testimonial:

“𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘐 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦-𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘋𝘳 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱. 𝘚𝘰, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘢 𝘨𝘰, 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦. 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘥. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵.”

More than anything, what encouraged me was seeing men who had never met before exchanging contact details, arranging follow-up meetings, discussing collaborations, and continuing conversations long after the session had officially ended.

That is exactly what I hoped the Good Man Network would become.

A room full of good men from Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty having much more meaningful conversations at a networking event than they ever have before, building genuine relationships, and leaving with more than just a handful of business cards.

Our next event is:

📍 The Tauranga Club (Boardroom)
📅 Thursday 18 June
🕤 9.30 to 11.00am
💛 Free to attend

Numbers are intentionally limited, and only a few spaces remain.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along, this would be a great time to do it.

It may sound paradoxical, but I think many men have never been more connected and more disconnected at the same time.

Most of us spend our days interacting with colleagues, clients, customers, friends and family members. Yet, despite all that contact, many men have surprisingly few opportunities for genuine conversation with other men.

Not because there is necessarily something wrong. More often, life simply gets in the way. Careers become demanding. Businesses need running. Children need raising. Relationships need attention. Before long, months or even years can pass without men intentionally investing in friendships and connection with one another.

Since starting Good Man Wellness, I have had conversations with men from a wide range of professions and backgrounds across Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty. Although their circumstances are often very different, this theme comes up again and again.

Many men know plenty of people. Far fewer feel genuinely connected to them. That observation sits behind the Good Man Network.

Business is certainly part of the conversation, but so too are leadership, wellbeing, family, purpose, relationships, and the realities of trying to build a career, a business, and a life at the same time.

At our inaugural event last month, I watched men who had never met before arranging follow-up meetings, discussing collaborations, swapping contact details, and continuing conversations long after the session had officially ended. Several attendees have since met again independently, for business conversations, a game of tennis, or simply a coffee and a catch-up.

That was really encouraging for me to see. It reinforced my belief that many men are not looking for another networking event. What they are looking for is genuine connection with other good men who understand some of the pressures and responsibilities that modern life brings.

The next Good Man Network event is being held at the 𝐓𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟖 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟗.𝟑𝟎–𝟏𝟏.𝟎𝟎𝐚𝐦.

If you’re a professional man based in Tauranga or the wider Bay of Plenty and you’re curious about what we’re building, I’d be delighted to welcome you along.

Free Women's Circle, 10-11am tomorrow (Wednesday 10th June), Merivale Community Centre, facilitated by Dr Adam and a female colleague from the community centre.

You are invited to join a relatively new space for women worried about the men in their lives (partners, dads, sons, brothers etc).

This is a respectful, confidential, safe space, grounded in mana, empathy, practical learning, and shared experience.

No judgement. No blame. Simply open conversation, support, and understanding.

And if you're wondering why a men's mental health organisation is putting on women's circles, it's because we recognise that men’s wellbeing affects partners, children, families and communities, so for us, supporting men also means supporting the people who care about them ♥️🙏🏼

Most networking events end when people walk out the door.

This one seemed to start there.

Following the inaugural Good Man Network event, men arranged follow-up meetings, formed new friendships, and began discussing collaborations before they had even left the building.

Feedback included:
“Everyone came away feeling really pumped up.”
“The event had a good vibe. Like an already established group.”
“Keeping the group small makes meaningful conversation easier.”
“And that’s what I think we all need at the moment.”

The Good Man Network is designed to be different from traditional networking.

A space where professional men can connect, be heard, and build meaningful relationships alongside business ones.

Our next event is:
📅 Thursday 18 June
🕤 9:30–11:00am
📍 Tauranga Club, Devonport Road
💰 Free to attend

Places are limited to 15 men and over half the spaces have already been taken.

The Good Man Network:
A network for professional men, anchored in connection and built with heart.

01/06/2026

Good Man Wellness is being included in a local GP clinic’s Men’s Health Month patient pack.

That is a big moment for our work locally.

The clinic has three branches in Tauranga, so we are really grateful for the opportunity to help more men hear about the support and connection now available in our wonderful city.

Men’s health is not only about physical health.

It is also about loneliness, stress, relationship pressure, work pressure, financial strain, fatherhood, purpose, and having somewhere to talk before things reach crisis point.

This week, our next Men’s Circle is happening:
Wednesday 3rd June
10:00–11:00am
Merivale Community Centre
Free to attend
No booking required. Just turn up.

It is a relaxed, supportive space for men to talk, listen, connect, and support one another.

We also have our next Good Man Network business networking event coming up:
Thursday 18th June
9:30–11:00am
The Tauranga Club, Devonport Road
Numbers capped at 15, so booking is required.

Business networking for men, anchored in connection.

Interested in either, or know a man who might benefit from attending one of these?

Good Man Network Men's Business Networking Event Update

A huge thank you to the men who attended the very first Good Man Network event in Tauranga on Friday.

The room was full of honest conversation, encouragement, support, laughter, practical business discussion, and genuine connection.

One of the attendees summed it up perfectly afterwards:

“And that’s what I think we all need at the moment.”

That really stayed with me.

Several men commented that traditional networking can sometimes feel daunting or surface-level, whereas the smaller group setting made it easier to relax, contribute, and connect more meaningfully.

New friendships were formed, business collaborations were discussed, and there was a real sense of community in the room.

Some of the feedback included:

“Opportunity to speak and be heard.”

“Everyone came away feeling really pumped up.”

“The event had a good vibe. Like an already established group.”

The Good Man Network is a business network for professional men, anchored in connection and built with heart.

The next session is planned for 18 June, and I’m genuinely excited about where this is heading.

Thank you again to everyone who came along and helped make the pilot session such a positive experience.
