Session: Networking Tips for Working Moms
They say that network is your net-worth.The research is also very clear that working moms are the most productive employees as we exceel in multi-tasking, managing our time more effectively, we are flexible, empatic and much more.
As I writing these lines our daughter is 22 months old, she is currently at the daycare and today I am working from home.
Tomorrow I will be at the office and look forward to meet Matt for a morning coffee and talk how we can co-create in the future.
I can do morning coffees and lunches, but I don't do dinners and calls after 6pm.
Going back to work after 18 months of being at home with our daughter, made me have even more sleepless nights.
Within those 18 months I had countless doubts about going back to work, doubting if I can still do my work and what if I am the first leaving the office.
Coming back at ease with the support at home and at work, made a difference and allowing myself to go slowly and having a bad day and not being productive at all it was OK.
Three months later on the job, I feel it was the right decision for our family and it made me rethink priorities, be clear on my life and career goals, be fully present at job and at home and make every moment counts.
But, you might ask now how is any of this related to networking and meeting people?
Well, it happens to be that the most important skill in my daily job is meeting new people and opening doors for our business.
Over the past years I spent most of my time meeting new people and making the strategic introductions, listening to people's stories and having the joy of meeting people and all that energizes my day and makes me even more productive, succesful and happy at work and at home.
Join me on this short journey to tell you more how networking can work for you, even if you have 10 minutes a day and even if you are an introvert!
We are all connected and can make the best out of it!
