How to Work From Home Without Feeling Isolated

Women Are More Savvy than "The Rest" Want to Admit
Think about it. Women dominate the web (almost) everywhere except at LinkedIn. According to "them" it's because women don't get it. You tell our wife...we won't. Look around the web though and women lead, control, manage. They're also the people the LinkedIn folks want to connect with and yet the site's management looks down their nose at the stronger half of the species. We're betting females probably have more or better things to do. Here's why...

Networking Tips from the Networkers Networker
One of the best compliments related to networking that I ever received was when a highly respected chief executive introduced me to speak as “The Networkers' Networker.” Networking is a very powerful marketing tool and one that can be very positive and valuable if done properly and very costly if done improperly or not at all. In thinking about what tips to share with you, I decided to think back over my own personal experiences and what has worked well for me and my clients. What I have developed is called my MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Networking Tips.
Building Your Business Through Networking
Every businessperson and professional knows that networking is the most effective and least expensive ways of attracting new business. Yet few people in business really understand how to network. In the business of networking, you have to stand out and be remembered.

Is Your NETworking?
Many of us would immediately answer yes to the question "Is Your NETworking?" But do you realize what networking really is? Do you understand the value that can be gained by networking? Do you do the appropriate preparation prior to a networking event? Do you follow-up after meeting a potential network contact? What are some resources available to help promote your networking opportunities? Let’s find out...

No Business Card Simply Means No Business
Have you attended a business networking event or a business conference and attempted to exchange professional business cards with another professional but he or she did not have one? What were your thoughts?
Down with Networking!
Networking is probably one of the toughest and most important aspects of the job search..not to mention our careers and overall professional development. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most hated, misunderstood and, consequently, poorly practiced areas in our careers, too, which is probably why many of us dread networking altogether. Still, like it or not, we simply must do it. It’s too difficult to land a job, an internship, or a new client today without networking.
Networking: Hate to miss it, but I really don’t want to go!
Networking is touted as the best resource for professional success and personal growth. Whether you are looking for a job, professional development, business opportunities or shared-interest socializing, networking is said to be the key. But like any other key, it doesn’t work unless it clicks. What clicks for an intellectually curious introvert like me are organized interactions that engage through knowledge (real problem solving) and sincerity. In other words, if you want to engage me, your pitch must make sense. You can’t sell me dog food if I don’t have a dog.

Networking: A Way of Life
In this economy in which large companies are growing at a slower pace than in the past and given the highly transactional marketplace, workers are changing jobs more frequently either by choice or by necessity. People who previously have targeted only large corporations are looking elsewhere, often to smaller companies. This job climate makes networking even more important. Now, more than ever, it is a necessity, not an option. But because time is truly a precious commodity for many professional women, networking, unfortunately, has often been put on the back burner. The busier the woman, the more networking has lagged behind in priorities. Professional women have missed tremendous opportunities to grow their careers exponentially, and can no longer afford to neglect this critical, strategic career builder.
Effective Networking: Personality Partnering
Let your networking be defined by your personality and life style, not by your work. Networking is no longer the “good ol’ boys” club nor is it appropriate to pass your business card out to everyone you meet. Networking is a much more savvy market today. Networking is not something you do; it is an art you perfect. True networking will increase your business and give you a solid base for years to come. So how do you network?
