👏 Weekly Presenter Spotlight 👏

This week, our group had the chance to hear from Amanda Bzdok, owner of Hands On Healing Massage. Amanda shared more about what she focuses on in her practice and why her work goes far beyond just “relaxation.”

She talked about being intentional with every client, really listening to what their body needs, and tailoring each session to support healing, pain relief, and long-term wellness. That approach shows up clearly in her 5-star reviews, which consistently highlight how cared-for clients feel and the real results they experience.

Those reviews don’t happen by chance. They’re built through trust, skill, and showing up with the same level of care every single time. It’s clear Amanda takes pride in her work and in the people she serves.

We’re grateful she took the time to share her expertise with our group this week. If you’re looking for massage therapy in the St. Cloud area and want someone who truly focuses on results and client experience, Amanda is a great person to know.

When local businesses come together, great things happen. 💙

At our North Star Networking meeting, we had the opportunity to present a donation to United Way of Central Minnesota — a reminder of the impact we can make when we work together.

This group continues to support one another and give back to the community we live and work in. We’re proud to be part of something that’s about more than just business.

Community first. Always. 💙

Meet Andi Bobick with Image Builders of St. Cloud, who gave a fantastic presentation this week at our meeting!

Andi walked us through the most popular and effective marketing tools businesses are using today to strengthen their brand presence. She broke down what actually gets noticed, what people tend to keep and use, and how the right branded items can create long-term visibility for your business.

She didn’t just focus on the typical promo items — she highlighted some brilliant branding opportunities that most of us overlook. And the best part? Andi also creates custom work shirts and scrubs, which is a game-changer for any business that wants their team to show up in consistent, professional, branded apparel. Not every company offers that kind of range, and it really sets her apart.

If your brand could use a refresh, or you’ve been thinking about getting better promo items in front of your customers, Andi is absolutely the person to talk to.

Give her a shout! She’s a true expert at making your brand look its best.

Great job today, Andi, and thanks for sharing so many helpful insights with our group!

Jim gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how he helps businesses level up their brand through strategic, story-driven video. His passion for crafting videos that make people stop, watch, and remember really came through. 🎥

Whether it’s a brand story, a promo video, or content that showcases what makes your business unique, Jim brings the kind of clarity and creativity that truly sets businesses apart. We’re grateful he shared his expertise with us today — and even more grateful to have him in our NSN community! 🌠

Proud moment for North Star Networking today. ❤️

Our team rolled up our sleeves and made blankets for local children, and every single one was crafted with intention, kindness, and a whole lot of heart.

These blankets will be shared through United Way for Christmas, bringing warmth and comfort to kids who deserve to feel supported by their community.

Grateful for this group and the way we show up—together. 🎄✨

Yesterday was our annual Thankful Day at North Star Networking, and honestly… it was one of the best ones yet.

Our members brought the people they’re grateful for — friends, family, clients, and fellow networking pros — and the room was packed with good energy. We had 18 guests join us, which made for a fun and lively meeting.

We kept things simple: shared who we are, what we do, and why we love being part of this group. Our guests jumped in too, introducing themselves and telling us how they knew the member who invited them.

It was genuine, it was warm, and it reminded all of us why community matters.

Huge thanks to everyone who came and made the morning such a success. 💛✨

Meet Nate Van Heuveln, owner of Criterion Counseling and Consulting in St. Cloud, MN, for his presentation this week!

Nate walked us through how he helps clients get real, lasting results by using science-based methods, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). He broke down how our thoughts shape our behavior, and how the right tools can literally rewire the way we respond to stress, challenges, and everyday life.

He also shared the work he does on the consulting and coaching side, helping individuals level up in their careers, navigate professional transitions, and build the skills they need to move forward with confidence and direction.

Super informative, super practical, and honestly—one of those talks that sticks with you long after the meeting.

Thanks, Nate, for sharing your knowledge and the impact you’re making in our community!
