Jennifer Armitstead spoke about best networking practices at our first North Texas Women in Business of the BYU Management Society event. I thought the handout was so good that I asked her for permission to reprint it here. I hope you find it as useful as I have! Tips for Successful Networking 1. Don't network unless you first know who you are. 2. Before attending an event, know why you want to go. 3. Do your research on the guest speaker. What question would you ask them if you had 3 minutes alone to talk with him/her? 4. ALWAYS have business cards. Include: name, phone number, email, we ..read more

This post was submitted by Kaylie Astin who recently launched www.familyfriendlywork.org - a website aimed at improving family-friendly benefits in the workplace. I hope you'll visit her site and contribute your own story! When I heard Quentin L. Cook’s conference talk in April 2011, I did something I don’t usually do when I’m listening to General Conference: I stood up and cheered. “I would hope that Latter-day Saints would be at the forefront in creating an environment in the workplace that is more receptive and accommodating to both women and men in their responsibilities as parents,” he s ..read more

It has been gratifying to talk with and hear from women who attended the BYU Women in Business Conference last fall. I still find myself thinking about topics that were discussed, and hope the conference continues to have an impact as we consider our personal and professional goals for 2012. A conversation with one attendee has stuck with me. I spoke with her just days after the conference. It was clear that the work/life balance discussions had had an impact on her; she went home and immediately began having discussions, both on the personal and the professional front, about the topic. She t ..read more

One of the panels I attended at the Women in Business Conference was "Building Women's Networking Groups". As a panel organizer, this particular panel was my idea after reading this article in the Marriott School alumni magazine called "Women's Groups Growing for Management Society" (scroll to bottom of page). I have the task of starting the women's group for my local BYU Management Society chapter, so I was really interested to hear how the women on the panel suggested I get started. The panelists were Jennifer Armitstead, head (and founder) of the Salt Lake Women's Group, Maria Pribyl, Pres ..read more

Casey Hurley, faculty member of Law and Communications in the BYU-Idaho Business School, was on the "Develop (and Determine) a Career Path Despite Uncertainty" Panel of the Women in Business Conference. Casey shared her Career/Life story on our blog in October. Part of the impetus for asking Casey to be on this panel was a fantastic article she wrote called "What if 'Plan A' Doesn't Work? Helping Female Students Navigate an Uncertain Life Course". For this post, we asked Casey to summarize her remarks on the panel as an introduction to her article. I started thinking about the uncertainties o ..read more

Neylan McBaine was on the "Using Skills for Service: Serving in the Church and Community" panel of the Women in Business Conference. Neylan founded the Mormon Women Project, which led to a position with the church working on the I'm A Mormon campaign. This is her summary of her remarks on the panel. ---- Although Becky Douglas came to our "Using Your Management Skills for Service" panel concerned that she hadn't brought management skills to her service but learned them on the job, I came with a different concern: My efforts at service had led directly to a paid job. As the founder of the Mor ..read more

Becky Douglas was on the "Using Your Skills for Service: Serving in the Church and Community" Panel of the Women in Business Conference. She is a co-founder of Rising Star Outreach, a non-profit working with leprosy colonies in India. These are her reconstructed notes of her remarks on the panel. ---- Unlike the others on the panel, I didn't bring any management skills to my area of service; instead I had the reverse formula: I gained Management Skills as a result of my service. As a mother of ten children, I didn't have time to pursue and develop business management skills. When I started ..read more

If you didn't get the chance to hear Whitney Johnson's presentation on mentoring (or if you did and want to revisit what she talked about), you can find an outline of her talk on Harvard Business Review's blog: "Get the Mentoring Equation Right" (as well as a preface to her presentation on her blog, Dare to Dream.)  In the HBR article, Whitney shares an equation that she and a colleague, Bob Moesta, created to analyze and assess what makes a successful mentor/mentee relationship.  Whitney writes: I used to be able to say "yes" to pretty much anyone who reached out to me for mentor ..read more
