From Contacts to Clients – Build your Connections with Confidence, Clarity & Quiet Ease

Does networking feel draining, awkward, or overwhelming?

If you’ve ever:

  • Walked into a room full of strangers and wanted to turn right back around...
  • Left an event with a pile of business cards but no real connections...
  • Stayed quiet on Zoom, afraid of rambling or interrupting...
  • Struggled to talk about your business without sounding “salesy”...

…you’re not alone.

You don’t need to be the loudest in the room to be successful.

For introverted, shy, or quieter women in business, traditional networking feels designed for extroverts. 


The loudest voices can dominate, while your expertise and value often go unseen. I know, I've been there in lots of occasions - in-person and online. And it can feel isolating, draining and I've left feeling frustrated and a little lost at times.


But: you don’t need to fake extroversion to succeed. 


Your quiet strengths - listening, empathy, reflection, thoughtfulness - can actually be your superpowers in business networking.


Introducing: Quietly Confident: Networking Made Easy

This isn’t about working the room, chasing business cards, or burning yourself out.

Quietly Confident: Networking Made Easy

✨Build confidence without forcing fake “networking personalities.”
✨ Turn introductions into real opportunities, referrals, and clients.
✨ Learn how to connect authentically  - in person and online.
✨ Use events, communities, and relationships strategically to grow their business.


It’s about building relationships that feel good and fuel your business.

Hi, I'm janine friston - networking expert & leader

Introverted networking host, networking mentor, podcaster, mentor and connector.

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 when I first started out.  I felt uneasy, unsure and not confident in making the most out of the spaces and meetings I attended.   

So I started my own networking events, grew my own online and in-person communities. Fast forward from 2018, and I've hosted 100's of online and in-person meetings and events, helped 1000's of women grow connections, build their business and make more money through my connections, communities and events. 

I'm an award-winning business owner, and I've met an ex dragon too!

Now i have the business and connections i love....

I've built strong connections, positive, welcoming spaces, am more confident in myself and business

  • I've learned how to develop strong connections with other business owners
  • I've been able to support 1000's of business owners to grow their connections and network as they look to grow their business 
  • I enjoy networking in the right spaces for me - whether this is large or smaller events, online or in-person
  • I've worked with my introverted skills and energy to create a networking system that's right for me - and have led to collaborations, clients and many referrals and recommendations

All without feeling 'sales-y', 'icky' or extroverted - these are things that definitely aren't me!

And I can help you too!

Are you ready to build your network, strategically and with confidence?


Are you ready to turn your quiet strengths into powerful tools for connection and business growth?

i'm ready!

Does this sound like you?

Have you ever dreaded networking, stumbled over your introduction, or left events with a stack of business cards but no real opportunities? This is for you.

You’ll shift from feeling anxious or overlooked to showing up with confidence, starting conversations with ease, and nurturing relationships that grow your business

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at janine@femalebusinessnetwork.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

This programme is designed especially for busy women, many of whom are balancing businesses, families, and life. Its a self-study course, so you can work through it at your own pace - there’s no rush.

In fact, waiting until you’re “less busy” often means staying stuck in the same cycle of procrastination, not growing your network or building your dream business. This is about building the systems, clarity and confidence now, so your network and connections start working for you.


Fair question — and an important one. Many programmes teach cookie-cutter tactics that just don’t fit quieter, values-led women. This is not that.

You’ll build your business around your introverted strengths, not force yourself into extroverted strategies. 

You’ll walk away with your own plan and action steps, practical tools, and a strategy that fits you. 

Plus, you’re supported with a community, optional mentoring, and real templates to make action easy. 


Yes. In fact, this programme was created specifically for quieter, more introverted women.

You’ll learn how to network, show up, and sell in ways that feel natural and genuine. No forced videos, no loud launches, no pretending or performative tactics. 

What you might see as “weaknesses” can actually become your superpowers. Your introverted nature is your edge, and this programme is all about helping you harness it.


You could wait until you felt 100% ready. But in my experience we never feel 100% ready.  Imagine how much more confident, connected and clear you could be sooner rather than later?

The sooner you start, the sooner you build the network, visibility and systems that lead to the income you dream of. .
Plus, the current pricing + bonuses are limited to this launch period - after that, the investment will increase.


The workshops are pre-recorded so that you can watch when convenient for you. I'll also be in contact with you via email to see how you're doing, keep you accountable and enable you to ask me any questions you may have. 

On the Growth and Elevate plans, you’ll also have access to me via WhatsApp/ Messenger, as well as the FBN Business Lounge community space for accountability, ask any questions, gain feedback and support.


If you join now, the recordings will be shared in September 2025. 

However, on the Growth and Elevate plans, you'll be invited to join the FBN Business Lounge straight away, so you can start being active and getting to know some of our wonderful community, attend any of the online events we have scheduled and start to increase your audience and network now.
