Welcome to Fairygodboss!

We’re the largest online career community helping women achieve their career goals. Gain access to articles, jobs, events, and a supportive network of women and allies. Membership is free, always.

Hi! I am new to the group and I am so glad that I found it! I would like to find opportunities to present to women's groups, women's conferences, etc. Other than cold calling people, does anyone have advice on how to network and get my name out there? My niche is helping midlife women thrive through the transitions of life to create rich and meaningful lives, living the values that are uniquely important to them. As a clinical counselor and pharmacist I can tailor by presenting on a variety of topics...menopause, empty nest, changing careers, caregiver fatigue/loss of a parent, divorce, etc.

I appreciate any advice! Thanks!

Why women love us:

Daily articles on career topics
Jobs at companies dedicated to hiring more women
Advice and support from an authentic community
Events that help you level up in your career

Hi Lisa! Congrats on growing your reach and impact! There are some good places like Hey Mama, Whole Modern Parent, Pepperlane, and others that are mostly women-based businesses that have a lot of networking opportunities.

There are some great groups on Facebook to connect with mid-life women (as well as non mid-life women). If you want to message us, we can give you some links to groups we belong to that might be a good place to network. We also have events and look for speakers from time to time. We'd be happy to connect.

Look into the WIT (Women In Technology) Network. They have many people do various presentations and may be open to featuring you! I love attending their webinars. They have a LinkedIn page. Best of luck! ❤️

Check with your local chamber of commerce, rotary club, and NAWBO chapter. There may also be a Toastmasters club in your area for professional speakers.

Your background seems perfect for your business goals! I know this is very basic advice, but have you had conversations with friends and immediate and extended family members as well as neighbors and other acquaintances in your community? If each person you reach out to can refer you to another two or three, and so on, etc. you will be building a large, more personalized network. All of the other ideas by posters are great, too. Another organization you might check is the Holistic Moms Network. Best of luck! Hope you report back on your successes!

I would try setting up a website.

Sign up to e-newsletters on topics that interest you. Many times they send networking events to attend either virtually or in person. Those are excellent networking events for people with similar interests.
