Meet your host: Janine Friston
The Supporter and Connector behind 1000's of female businesses since 2018
Hi there, I’m Janine - award winning 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 FBN 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.
I look forward to getting to know you and your business better,
Janine x
