Connections start with 1-2-1s.

One of Sterling’s strengths is that the only thing we ask our members to do is to have 1-2-1s with their fellow members. Feedback from a recent independent survey carried out across 85% of the Sterling membership, highlighted that maximising the benefits from these 1-2-1s was key to our success and yours.
