The network you've been looking for.
You've outgrown something.
Maybe it's the groups that feel like they were built for someone a few years behind where you are now.
Maybe it's the events where you spend the whole time performing a polished version of yourself rather than having a single conversation that actually matters.
Maybe it's the content that fills your feed, the tips, the frameworks, the "here's what I learned from my first launch", that stopped applying to you a while ago and now just makes you feel vaguely invisible.
You're not being difficult, you haven't become too good for community, you've simply reached a point where most of what's on offer doesn't match your ambition and you've been looking, without necessarily knowing what you were looking for, for somewhere that does.
That's Proximity.
"It was the best networking event I've attended due to the connections made. I'm following up with all of them and looking forward to the next one."

What Proximity Is
Proximity is a curated, invite only network for people who already know what they bring. You are not here to find your niche, discover your offer, or work out whether you're good enough. You know who you are and what you do. You're in a category of one in your industry and you know it, even if you don't always say it out loud.
What you need now is not more content or another course. You need the right people in your corner. People at your level, having the conversations you actually want to be having. A room where nobody is performing and everyone is genuinely invested in each other's growth.
You need proximity to the opportunities, the connections and the conversations that have a real impact, and that's exactly what this is built for.
Who This Is For
Proximity is for the founder, the entrepreneur, the expert who has been successful and knows it, whether you're building on that success or pivoting into something new and equally significant.
Whether your business is online, offline, product, service, bricks & mortar. We can all learn what works in other industries. It’s for real businesses.
You've doubtless been in the room, done the networking and shown up but maybe somewhere along the way you started wondering whether the rooms themselves were the problem.
You're hungry for real conversations about the actual challenges and opportunities at your level. You want to be in a space where you don't have to translate yourself down or pad out your ideas before you share them.
You're not here to play small. You never were.
Hi, I'm Lisa Johnson
I've spent the last decade in rooms. The right ones, the wrong ones, and eventually the ones I built myself.
I've generated over £23 million, spoken on international stages, written a Sunday Times bestselling book and worked with thousands of entrepreneurs across the world, but the thing that has without doubt had the biggest impact on my success is being in the right room with the right people. The right introduction at the right moment, being told the honest thing instead of the comfortable one, having the conversation that confirmed a decision I'd been procrastinating on for months.
I built Proximity because I kept having the same conversation with successful, ambitious people who had outgrown their networks and couldn't find what they were looking for. They weren’t stuck, they weren’t doubting themselves, there were just too many rooms that no longer matched where they were.
I know I’m the right person to curate these rooms because I've been in them. I know the people worth knowing, I understand what a genuinely useful introduction looks like, and I take both seriously.
Generic networking clubs serve their purpose. Proximity is a different level.
I'll be in every room, every introduction is personal, and I'll never put anyone in front of you who isn't worth your time.
What You Get Inside Proximity
Monthly 90 minute online networking sessions
Every month, a focused, curated session designed to make every minute count, because at your level, time is the one thing you're not willing to waste. No filler, no waffle, no sitting through content that doesn't apply to you. Just real conversations, real connections and real opportunities, every single time.
Quarterly high level dinners and experiences
Every third month, you'll be invited to a dinner or a curated experience with the Proximity community, and a fireside conversation with someone I have personally selected because I believe you need to know them.
These are not sponsored slots. Nobody is paying to be in that room. These are people of the highest calibre, brought to the table because the conversation they'll have with you is one worth having. The kind of introduction that changes things.
Curated introductions
This is not a room where you hope the right person happens to be sitting next to you. Connections inside Proximity are intentional. The introductions that happen here are made because they make sense, because both parties will genuinely benefit, and because the right connection at the right moment is worth more than a year of networking events.
Learning from the network, for the network
The expertise inside Proximity doesn't get delivered in a training module, it’s there, live in the room with you. The people you're alongside have built things, pivoted successfully, solved problems you're facing and created opportunities you haven't considered yet. That knowledge flows freely here, peer to peer, in both directions.
How It Works
Proximity is invite only and referral based. If you've been referred, you already know what that means.
If you've found your way here on your own and you recognise yourself in this page, please do apply and we'll come back to you within 48 hours.
Honestly, we're not making you jump through hoops, we just want to make sure Proximity is right for you and that you're right for Proximity. At this level, that matters to everyone in the room.
What Proximity Is Not
It is not for people who are still figuring out the fundamentals. It is not for people who need to be told they're good enough. It is not a course, a programme or a mastermind with a curriculum.
It is a network. A long term, high calibre network where belonging is the point and proximity to the right people is the outcome.
The Honest Version
You've built something real, you've earned your seat and the thing that's going to take you to the next level isn't more information, it's the right people.
Proximity exists for the people who are ready for that. The ones who have outgrown the old networks and know it, who want to be in rooms where the conversations are honest, the connections are meaningful and the opportunities are real.
If that's you, we'd love to have you.
