When I started my first business back in 2009, I had no clients, no fancy contacts, and—if I’m being really honest—not a lot of confidence either.

I’m an introvert by nature. I was shy, quiet in groups, and the idea of putting myself “out there” filled me with dread. But I knew I wanted to make my business work, and everyone kept saying, “You need to network.”

So I did. Slowly. Hesitantly. Awkwardly at times. I turned up to events where I felt like everyone else knew each other, knew what they were doing, and knew what to say. I didn’t. I often left feeling like I hadn’t made the right impression, or hadn’t said enough or that I needed to be more ‘extra’ to be successful at networking.

But I kept going. And what I found, little by little, was that networking could actually work… when I stopped trying to do it like everyone else, and started doing it my way.

💡 That’s why I created the Networking with Confidence Workshop Series

Because I know I’m not alone in how I felt at the start—and I know many women still feel this way now.

  • Some are new to business and have no idea where to begin
  • Some are already networking, but it’s not bringing in the clients or connections they hoped for
  • And many are introverts like me—brilliant at what they do, but drained by big rooms and small talk

If that sounds like you, I want you to know this:

  1. You don’t have to “be louder” to be successful at networking.
  2. You don’t have to be someone you’re not.
  3. You just need a way of networking that works for you.

✨ Introducing: Networking with Confidence

A 3-Part Workshop Series for Women in Business
📍 Live on Zoom · Tuesdays in June 2025

These are interactive, practical, and supportive workshops designed to help you feel more confident, more intentional, and more in control of your networking journey.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or ready to refine what’s already working, these sessions will help you build genuine connections and start seeing real results.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

Workshop 1 – Networking for Beginners (Tuesday 10th June)

If you’ve never really networked before, or it’s always felt awkward, this session is the perfect place to start.
We’ll cover:

  • What networking really is (and what it’s not)

  • How to introduce yourself without freezing up

  • What to say and where to show up

  • Simple do’s and don’ts to take the pressure off

Workshop 2 – Networking for Introverts (Tuesday 17th June)

This one’s close to my heart. If you find typical networking events draining or overstimulating, you’re not alone.
We’ll explore:

  • How to protect your energy and avoid burnout

  • Finding rooms and formats that work for you

  • Gentle ways to ease into conversations

  • Setting boundaries before, during and after events

Workshop 3 – Networking for Results (Tuesday 24th June)

You’re already showing up — but what’s actually coming from it?
This session will help you:

  • Get clear on where to spend your time

  • Network with more strategy and less stress

  • Follow up without the awkwardness

  • Track your progress and actually see a return on your effort

All sessions run 12.00–1.30pm via Zoom
