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.
