The Networking Queen

Meet Michele Ibbs—better known in networking circles as The Networking Queen. And for good reason! Michele’s been connecting people and building relationships since 2007, when she first launched I’m Your P.A.

These days, she’s a familiar face at networking events across the UK, having actively being involved with BNI, UKNC, and 4Networking over the years. She’s also brought her expertise to leadership roles, serving as a Managing Area Director with BNI, an Area Leader with 4N, and a team member of the Property Investors Network.

For Michele, networking isn’t just a skill—it’s a passion. Done right, it delivers real results. After all, it’s called netWORK, not net-sit or net-eat! It takes effort, consistency, and a genuine interest in others to turn conversations into valuable, long-term connections.

But don’t worry, you’re not in this alone! Michele loves helping others build their confidence, refine their networking approach, and, most importantly, enjoy the process. Whether it’s sharing contacts, offering support, or passing on the techniques that have helped her grow I’m Your P.A. and launch Truly Yours Agency, she’s here to help you make networking work for you.

So, if you’re looking to expand your network (without the awkward small talk), you’re in the right place. With guidance from The Networking Queen, you’ll turn handshakes into opportunities and connections into lasting partnerships.
