Quietly Ambitious. Calmly Connected.
- Do big networking groups and business strategies feel noisy and extroverted to you sometimes?
- Do you want to network, grow your audience and connections in introvert-friendly ways?
- Do you want to build a business that supports your introvert energy, quieter nature and personality?
Yay you're in the right place!
Hi, i'm janine friston - the networking expert
People connector, networking expert, speaker & business mentor
I've brought together 1000's of business owners through my online and in-person networking events, communities and business groups.
I love seeing people thrive in their businesses, by taking the steps that work for them.
We're all different, and so I encourage you to BE YOU, BUILD your business, GROW your audience and NETWORK in ways that are aligned with WHO you you, WHAT you want to achieve and HOW you want to achieve it.
As an introvert I know how large groups can feel a little awkward. I know how we love our own company, but also enjoy meeting others too. I know how energy zapping being around loud, extroverted people can be sometimes - even when they are your best buddies!
I'm here to champion us introverted, quietly-confident business owners to build genuine connections, and grow our businesses in ways that are aligned to our personalities.

Relationships & Networking are the strategy no-one talks about.
These are key to your business and income growth, and yet most people don't have a strategy, a plan or focus on how the relationships they nurture and grow should be intentional, strategic and bring you the opportunities, friendships, revenue and growth that you've created with your business goals.
CONNECTED will bring you aligned clients and consistent income, without feeling like you have to attend every event, be on every platform and do all the things.
Who has the time or energy for that?!
