Menna Riley is a connector, community builder, and event strategist who has spent over 25 years curating experiences that bring people together in ways that create real impact. For more than a decade, she has focused on building a thriving business community for professional women, helping them move beyond surface-level networking and into relationships that open doors to career-defining opportunities, clients, and collaborations.
As the founder of Leading Ladies Networking, The Glow Network, and The Networking Boutique, Menna has created a powerful networking ecosystem where ambitious women don’t just meet – they build meaningful, lasting connections that lead to real results. Her work has led to over 50 sold-out networking events, speaking engagements at top entrepreneurship conferences, and recognition with the Safi Media Economic Impact Award for Advancing Professional Networks.
She believes networking should feel energizing, not exhausting, and that real business growth happens when the right people come together with intention. Whether she’s curating high-impact events, facilitating connections, or sharing strategic networking insights, Menna is passionate about helping professionals build networks that work for them – long after the initial introduction.
Most networking feels forced, transactional, and exhausting. Too many professionals spend time in rooms that don’t lead to real opportunities, struggling to make connections that actually move their businesses and careers forward.
At Leading Ladies Networking, The Glow Network, and The Networking Boutique, we’ve created a different kind of networking experience – one that’s built for real relationships, real results, and real success.
For over a decade, Leading Ladies Networking has been Nova Scotia’s go-to community for powerhouse women looking to expand their networks, elevate their businesses, and access meaningful opportunities. Our sold-out live events bring together women who are ready to build relationships that actually matter.
To keep that momentum going beyond the room, we created The Glow Network – a dynamic online community where ambitious women can continue to connect, collaborate, and grow their influence long after the event ends.
And for those who want to sharpen their skills and master strategic networking on their own terms, The Networking Boutique offers online courses designed to help professionals build high-value connections with confidence and intention.
We don’t believe in networking that feels transactional. We believe in relationships that lead to clients, collaborations, and career-defining opportunities. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, or an emerging professional, we provide the spaces, strategy, and support to help you build a network that actually works for you.
Real networking doesn’t happen in a feed. It happens in the rooms, the conversations, and the communities that are built to create impact.
Why Networking is the Most Valuable Business Strategy You’re Not Using
Most people think of networking as a single transaction – showing up to an event, meeting a few people, exchanging business cards, and hoping something comes of it. But that’s not networking. That’s just being in a room.
Real networking is a strategic business asset, not a one-time activity. When done right, it’s the truest, most effective way to grow your business, expand your influence, and access opportunities you wouldn’t have found on your own. If you don’t have a strategy, you’re just collecting contacts with no clear path forward.
The most successful professionals don’t leave networking to chance – they go in with a plan. They know how to create meaningful connections, follow up with intention, and turn introductions into real opportunities. That’s why networking isn’t just valuable – it’s essential.
Your biggest opportunities won’t come from cold outreach or waiting to be discovered. They come from being in the right rooms, with the right people, having the right conversations.
Networking done right is never a waste of time. It’s the strategy that turns connections into collaborations, referrals into revenue, and conversations into career-changing moments.
