How it works

Start with one session. See where it goes.

This is the whole path — from a $5 Expert Pod to hosting one of your own, opening the door for someone else, and turning a strong diagnostic into work. Eight steps, in order, so you know what happens next.

In short

What happens after I sign up?

Your membership starts with a personalised 1:1 onboarding call with Abbey, where you will talk through your goals, your first month, and register for anything you are immediately interested in. In your first month we will connect you with three members who are genuinely worth knowing.

From there, the community is yours to navigate. Abbey is your community concierge throughout your membership.

Can I try before I commit?

Yes — and it is designed to be low risk. A first-time visitor pass is $5. That gets you access to an Expert Pod plus full community membership for that month, including an optional live welcome tour with Abbey at the start of the month.

If you decide to join during your trial month, you will receive 10% off your ongoing membership fee.

Not ready yet? You can join later or return as a casual guest — $50 gives you pod access and community membership for that month each time you visit.

How often do I need to show up?

There is no attendance requirement. Membership is designed around your schedule — you choose what to engage with and when. Expert Pods run monthly with limited spots and need to be booked in advance. Everything else is available when you need it.

The community is your base camp, not a programme with roll call.

The path through The Impact Collab

There is no fixed curriculum and no hidden ladder. Each step is something you can actually do, and each one opens the next.

Step 01. Try it for $5

Register for your first Expert Pod for $5, and get a full month of community access alongside it. A tour of the community, plus a real working session — three peers and one expert, on a part of your business that actually needs help. Not a webinar. Not a sales call.

Step 02. See if it's the right fit, both ways

At the end of your first month, if the fit is right, you're invited to join The Impact Collab as a full member. No pressure, no hard sell. You've already worked alongside members. The community is reviewing fit too.

Your first month

$5

One Expert Pod, plus a full month of community access

That is the whole commitment to start. You see the room, work on something real, and decide from the inside whether it is for you.

Step 03. Choose your own adventure

As a member, attend whatever events you want each month. There's no fixed curriculum. Some months you need visibility. Some months it's business support, or connection, or someone to keep you accountable. The community flexes with that.

Step 04. Attend another pod, unlock hosting

Attend a second Expert Pod and you unlock the opportunity to host an Expert Pod of your own. You've been on the receiving end. Now you know what good looks like, and you're trusted to run one yourself.

Step 05. Host, and build toward exclusivity

Host an Expert Pod. If you enjoy it, you get access to opportunities to secure exclusivity in your field. The hosted topic is assigned in a specialty that doesn't overlap an existing Expert's. Positive feedback means you can apply for exclusivity — one exclusive spot per specialty, reached via hosting rather than a direct application.

Step 06. Open the door for someone else

Nominate a Global Goalie — a founder or organisation doing real impact work who needs a way in. The community isn't just about what you get. Members actively decide who else gets access to it.

Step 07. Score strong on a pillar, host an AMA

Score 8 or higher on any one of the five pillars in your diagnostic, and you may be invited to host an Ask Me Anything session for the community. Your strength gets recognised and put to use.

Step 08. Score strong across pillars, access paid coaching

Score 8 or higher across three or more of the five pillars, and you unlock access to paid coaching opportunities inside the community. The diagnostic isn't just a check-in — real strength across your business opens real income opportunities here.

Start your journey

- Header: direct and confident, not a soft question — reinforce this is the right room for the right people

- No waitlist — membership opens in quarterly windows. Register interest between windows, apply when one's open - Trust/scarcity signals: capped at 150 members, every application reviewed - Reassurance line: something like "you don't need to have it all figured out, just be building something that matters"
