THE HARD TRUTH
Most professionals only think about their network when it is too late
Networking is not a job-search activity. It is a leadership discipline. The most influential, most successful, most in-demand professionals in any sector are always networking, not because they need something, but because they understand that a deliberately built network is the infrastructure that makes everything else possible.
FOUNDING MEMBER PRICE
Most professionals treat networking as a response to urgency. A redundancy, a restless feeling, a market shift. By the time the need arises, the network is cold, the relationships are transactional, and the opportunities have already gone to someone else. Starting from scratch under pressure is one of the most avoidable mistakes in a senior career.
Building a network only when you need one
THE STRATEGIC REALITY
The leaders who consistently find themselves with the best options, the most interesting conversations, and the most unexpected opportunities are those who invest in their networks continuously. Not intensely. Consistently. Small, regular investments in the right relationships create a career asset that grows in value every single year.
A network built over time like an investment
"The best leaders are always networking. Not because they are looking for something, but because they understand that the quality of your network determines the quality of your options, always."
— Lee Higgins, Founder TDRN · 30 years in executive search
THE TDRN FRAMEWORK
We teach you how networks are designed, engaged and nurtured
Most people know they should be networking. Very few have a strategy for doing it well. TDRN gives you a clear, practical framework for understanding how a high-value professional network actually works, and how to build one that serves you at every stage of your career.
01
Understand the anatomy of an effective network. Who belongs in it, what each relationship type offers, and how to map the gaps between where your network is now and where it needs to be. Intentional network design is the difference between a powerful asset and a list of contacts.
Design
02
Learn how to activate both your internal network, the colleagues, stakeholders, and sponsors within your current organisation, and your external network, the peers, connectors and senior figures who extend your reach. Most people underestimate the power of the network they already have.
Engage
03
A network only stays valuable if it is maintained. We give you a practical system for sustaining your relationships over time, staying visible and relevant without it feeling forced, and investing in others in ways that build genuine reciprocity and trust.
Nurture
TWO NETWORKS, ONE STRATEGY
Unlock the network you already have. Then build the one you need
Most professionals focus entirely on external networking and ignore the most immediately valuable network they have access to, the one inside their current organisation.
Your internal network is often the most underused career asset you have. TDRN helps you understand how to map it, engage it, and leverage it strategically, whether you are pursuing an internal move, building your reputation, or creating the conditions for sponsorship.
The network inside your organisation
INTERNAL NETWORK
-
Map your internal stakeholder landscape
-

Your external network determines your market visibility, your awareness of opportunity, and your ability to move quickly when the right moment comes. TDRN gives you the strategy and the community to build it sustainably, without the awkwardness of transactional networking.

THE LONG GAME
A strategically built network creates opportunity for life
of senior roles are filled through relationships, not applications
70%
3x
more likely to land a role through a referral than a cold application
30yrs
of executive search insight behind the TDRN framework
When your network is strong, active, and genuinely invested in your success, the best opportunities surface through conversations, not job boards. The role you really want will often reach you three weeks before it is ever posted.
Opportunities find you, not the other way around
A strong network means that when your name comes up in a conversation you are not part of, people speak about you with conviction. That is worth more than any application. TDRN teaches you how to build that kind of reputation.
Your reputation travels further than your CV
Markets change, industries restructure, roles disappear. The professionals who navigate those moments with the least disruption are the ones whose networks are already warm. TDRN ensures yours never goes cold.
Resilience when the market shifts
TDRN is not just for people in transition. It is for ambitious leaders who understand that the groundwork for every future opportunity is laid right now, in the relationships they are building and the reputation they are earning today.
Career momentum between roles, not just during transitions

YOUR HOST
Built by someone who has watched what works
Lee Higgins has spent 30 years placing senior professionals into the most competitive roles in the market. In that time, one pattern has been consistent: the professionals who land the best roles, navigate transitions with the least disruption, and build the most fulfilling careers are never the ones who network the most frantically. They are the ones who network the most intentionally.
TDRN was built to give every senior professional access to that same strategic advantage, a framework for understanding how networks actually work, a community that models genuine reciprocity, and the support to sustain it as a lifelong habit rather than a crisis response.

QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know
Do I need to be actively job searching to join?
No, and in fact the best time to join is when you are not searching. TDRN is designed for senior professionals who want to build a sustainable network over time, not just those in immediate transition. The members who get the most from the community are those who invest in it consistently while they are employed, so that when any opportunity or challenge arises, their network is already warm and active.
What does the networking framework actually teach?
The TDRN framework covers three stages: Design (mapping your ideal network, identifying the five relationship types every senior leader needs, and auditing your current gaps), Engage (activating both your internal network within your current organisation and your external network of peers, connectors and sponsors), and Nurture (building the habits and systems that keep your network active and reciprocal over the long term).
What is the founding member price lock?
The first 500 members join at £299 per year and that price is locked in permanently for as long as they remain members. Once those 500 places are taken, the annual price will increase for all new members. Founding members are never affected by future price changes.
Where are the in-person events held?
In-person events are held across the UK. Locations are confirmed well in advance and are selected to be accessible for members across the country. The events are deliberately curated for depth of connection, not volume of attendance.
What seniority level is TDRN designed for?
TDRN is designed for professionals with leadership responsibility and aspiring leaders.
What type of membership is right for me?
Both memberships offer the same value and services.
Lifetime members already fully understand the importance of networking and want to commit for the rest of their careers.
