– Get Networking
– New Blog Post

Does a new decade come with a higher order of new year’s resolutions?  We think not.  After all, by January 14th all those avowals to get more organized, more exercised, more patient and less caloric may be the one thing wearing thin.  However, it struck us that there was one simple action on the resolution front that we might offer to start the new year, of the specifically Executive Moms variety:

Make This the Year of Smart Networking

As many of us hit a “reset” button during the preceding year, a year that most are happy to put in the past, let this be the year where you reset your approach to cultivating your network(s), strategically.  What better place to start than right here.  Here then are a few tips for making the most of the Executive Moms Network:

• If you haven’t done so already, set up your own profile.  It’s easy (really).

• Upload a picture and add details that will help the right people find you.

• Search for fellow members to get to know who have commonalities with you.  For example, go to “Member Moms” and in the search field, type an occupation like “lawyer” or “sales;” you’ll find other members who have that job definition in their profile too.  Search by city or state and you’ll find members in your area.

• Once you find member moms of interest, start a conversation.  Send them a message or post to their wall.

• Start a discussion in the Lounge, post new content or a status update to your page, comment on someone else’s content.  Boom: you’re networking, (with women with whom you probably have a lot in common).
