ABOUT “YOUR TIME MATTERS”
What YTM Was Built On
Your Time Matters was created by Kerryn Powell from a belief that meaningful conversations and genuine connection can change lives.
What began as a space for people to come together through business and shared interest grew into something deeper — a body of work centred on trust, confidence, learning, contribution, and the power of relationships.
At its heart, YTM was never just about meeting more people. It was about creating spaces where people could feel welcome, exchange ideas, build understanding, and discover what becomes possible when conversations are thoughtful, honest, and real.
More Than a Business Skill
Your Time Matters was built on the belief that networking is not just a business skill. It is a life skill — one that helps people build trust, strengthen confidence, broaden perspective, and create relationships that can change what becomes possible.
In business, that may lead to growth, collaboration, learning, or opportunity. In life, it can lead to friendship, support, belonging, confidence, and change.
That is why conversation, reflection, and relationship-building have always sat at the centre of this work.
What Your Time Matters Is Now
Today, Your Time Matters remains home to blogs, reflections, and ideas shaped by years of creating safe, welcoming spaces where confidence grew, meaningful conversations unfolded, relationships were seeded, and opportunities were unlocked.
While Kerryn’s current offers, Catalyst events, tools, speaking, mentoring, and workshops now sit under Kerryn-Powell.com.au, YTM continues to hold an important part of the story.
It is where much of the thinking was developed, where the philosophy was lived in practice, and where those ideas continue to be shared through writing and reflection.
