Going through my daily news sites (in my job you need to be on top of what's going on, today's lunch discussion was who's going where in the US senate), I stumbled upon this article in the Times: Why women are such bad networkers. Of course I felt personally challenged by this article, as I consider myself a reasonably good networker (and a reasonably good trainer in networking...). But we learn something every day, and one of the lightbulbs from this article was to maybe focus less on networking with women-only groups, but get out of my comfort zone and network with the guys too. It also reminded me to make more of an effort, research and reflect on what I do and what I learn. I'm very good at doing, I'm very intuitive, but I'm not very good at reflecting on what I've done and what I've learned.So today I'm buying a moleskine notebook, small enough to come with me everywhere, and I'll start reflecting... cross your fingers for me!
In addition the article reminded me to make more of an effort online. I read an article yesterday on how to make better use of LinkedIn, and reading the Times article was yet another reminder to get going with this. So I've rekindled my twitter account (twittername: solveigma), and will reconnect it with facebook so that I don't have to do two updates (if I find out how!).
