Hi, i'm Janine Friston
The Supporter and Connector behind 1000's of female businesses since 2018
Hi there, I’m Janine, introverted networking host, networking mentor, podcaster, small business mentor and supporter of female entrepreneurs.
I LOVE connecting people and helping them grow their confidence, audience and business. But it's not always been like that for me. As an introvert, I struggled with networking events when I started in business back in 2018. I felt unwelcome and uncomfortable with the sales-focused, clicky environments.
I wanted a more relaxed, professional space to meet likeminded business owners. When I couldn't find one, I created my own which has now evolved into the Female Business Network.
Here, we focus on community, conversations, and authentic relationship-building. We host smaller events where everyone is heard and supported, and we're about growing your business naturally and confidently.
Being a woman in business is tough, especially when it comes to childcare responsibilities, often limited time and lacking energy. For introverted, shy or quieter individuals, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting!
But it's possible to balance work and life while growing your business.
Inside the Introverts Business Lounge you'll find support and connections that let you be yourself. Our online events will boost your confidence in talking about your business. You will grow your audience, learn new ideas, and feel more confident with your messaging. With me as your cheerleader and mentor, you can navigate any challenges ahead with ease.
- Does the thought of making small talk stop you from networking?
- Are you tired of events that drain your time and energy?
- Do you lack confidence in selling yourself?
- Are you looking for your dream work/life balance?
- Do you hate networking meetings focused on referrals and selling, but still want to grow your connections?
Inside the Introverts Business Lounge we're about conversation, building genuine relationships, collaboration, fun and sharing of ideas and expertise, and not all about sales and selling.
