"Networking is not about just connecting people. It's about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities."

Welcome to Networking with Tisha & Deb

Connect. Collaborate. Grow

Created by two dynamic entrepreneurs, Tisha Johnson, Owner of Orleans Bistro, and Deborah Newman, Owner of Petite Taway, this group was built on one simple belief — networking is the foundation of lasting success.

With years of business experience and a shared passion for helping others succeed, Tisha and Deb know firsthand that meaningful connections can open doors, spark collaborations, and inspire growth. After working together on numerous projects and mentoring countless entrepreneurs, they saw a need for something genuine — a place where business owners could come together, share their stories, and learn from one another without the pressure of sales or competition.

From that vision, Networking with Tisha and Deb was born — a monthly event that gets back to The Basics of Networking. It’s not about gimmicks or elevator pitches; it’s about real conversations, authentic relationships, and building a supportive community of professionals who believe in helping each other thrive.

Twice a month, local business owners gather for two engaging hours filled with connection, collaboration, and conversation. Participants share ideas, exchange referrals, and discover opportunities to work together in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re just starting your business or you’ve been in the game for years, this group offers a chance to recharge your networking skills and grow alongside other passionate entrepreneurs.
