Today I have Darren Kelk, Founder of Fresh Networking with me.
Darren has had a very successful career in the travel industry, starting at Flight Centre as a travel consultant in 2001 and working his way up to Area Leader. He then ventured out on his own with TravelManagers in 2010 which is where he discovered the art of Networking and found he was a natural fit.
Networking became a key marketing strategy in his business and throughout the years he has been involved with many networking groups throughout Melbourne. However, as Darren’s business evolved he found it difficult to find a group that really resonated with his values, so, therefore, he created his own called Fresh Networking.
Darren started Fresh as a hobby with a hub in South Yarra, Melbourne with 15 people and now it has grown to 17 hubs with over 200 Freshies in Melbourne and is now looking to expand up to the Eastern coast. 
His official title is 'His Royal Freshness', which shows his quirky humour and sense of fun, which resonates throughout all aspects of the business.
This is a fun and interesting chat where we discuss:
Fresh Networking and how it differs to other events out there
How to network effectively to achieve the best outcomes
The biggest mistakes people make with networking
How Darren has managed the rapid growth of his business.
Enjoy my chat with Darren.

Want to know the secret to confident and successful leadership?

Every week, Leading You showcases leadership of all kinds and you get the scoop on how to be an effective, modern leader who makes an impact.

There’s one thing we all have in common. We’re all leaders. First and foremost, you’re a leader of you. You don’t need a title to be a leader. Leadership is a mindset which anyone can adopt to create influence. The more leaders the world has, the better it will be.

I'll let you into something I know to be true - You can’t be a leader of others unless you’re a leader of self first. So if you want to have impact that leads to prosperity and happiness, it all starts with you. With your mindset and personal leadership toolbox, which Leading You will help you build up.

Leading you is hosted by Julie Hyde, an entrepreneur, corporate drop out and passionate leader. Julie knows one thing: you can’t control what happens to you but you can control how you respond. It’s why Leading You is important.

Each week, guests share their secret sauce. They reveal their roadmaps to success. How they’ve stayed anchored to who they are, insights into their courage and resilience and how to be emotionally and behaviourally agile. It’s a conversation, not an interrogation, and you’ll hear the human side of household names.
