Hello friends,
I’m excited to share that Yinka Ewuola and I are bringing Quiet Queens: Network & Nourish back to Central London on June 25th, 2026.
What is Quiet Queens, you ask? Here’s how it happened:
Last year, we had a vision for an in-person introvert-friendly networking event.
I mean, was it even possible?
Most networking advice favours extroversion, as does much of the business world.
We wanted something different.
So we created it.
Intentionally small. No icebreakers. No enforced jollity. Speaking optional and opportunities to speak well spaced by excellent food.
Not so much working the room as making the room work for you.
And it did work! There were smiles, laughter and lots of talking but nothing was forced. Connections were made naturally and authentically.
We promised and delivered an experience that left our room full of introverts as energised at the end as they had been at the start, maybe even more so.
And now it’s time for the 2027 event. As before it will be in a fabulous central London restaurant - we’re finalising the venue now. And we have some delicious plans to make it even better, and just as introvert-affirming, with an exciting goodie bag. And there’s some VIP magic on offer, too.
Not an introvert? You can still come, as long as you’re cool with a quieter vibe. We had a couple of ambiverts in the room last year, and they loved it too.
If this sounds like an experience you want to share, reply to this email and drop QQ26 somewhere in the subject or body. Then I’ll share the full details as soon as they’re available.
Hope to see you in London soon!
Sharon
P.S. Don’t miss out; after this, the next opportunity to get us both in the same room is at least a year away. So hit reply so I can share those deets.
