ISFP Explains Why Professional Networking Can be Harder for Women Than Men

Social networking is crucial for advancing your career. Unfortunately, women often face headwinds when it comes to networking. Tried and true practices that work wonders for men say having a guy’s night out or enjoying a game of golf often don’t work or at least aren’t exactly as open to women. Meanwhile, networking remains crucial for advancement, even if it’s often more difficult for women to get plugged in, says the International Society of Female Professionals (ISFP).

While the barriers between men and women have slowly weakened, such barriers still exist and may hold women back from rising up the organizational ladder. Still, the International Society of Female Professionals believes that a proactive approach to networking may help women level the playing field and advance their careers.

Networking Activities Sometimes Seen as Stereotypically Male

After-work socializing ranks among the most vital ways to network and build relationships that may pave the way for promotions. In some cases, women are routinely left out of such events and gatherings. Often, the activities themselves are male-dominant and are stereo-typically seen as a “boy’s club” activity. Catching a round of golf with coworkers is a common and easy way to bond. Yet golf is often seen as a “male” event, even though women make up nearly a quarter of all golfers.

Some researchers also believe that there are subtle differences in how female brains work compared to males. Specifically, men may compartmentalize things more naturally and also take less issue with using social interactions to advance their own agenda. One study found that many people feel literally “dirty” after professional networking. The above assertions are debated, and if such differences exist, it’s unclear whether they are learned or inherited behaviors. Still, it might be hard to network if you view networking itself as exploitative.

It’s important to remember that networking is a vital aspect of your career. Some folks may feel like they are exploiting people by networking. However, as you advance in your career, you can help coworkers, clients, and others by performing at your best.  Remember too that many people will be glad to help. Some will even be flattered that you’re asking for help and advice.

Carving Out Time for Networking Can Be Harder for Women

Simply finding the time to network can be a challenge for women. Moms are often expected to be the primary caregivers for children. Of course, there are exceptions, and many fathers and male parental figures are stepping up to share the burden. However, if “mom” needs to go home to take care of the kids, she obviously can’t join colleagues for a drink after work.

It’s crucial to factor networking time into your schedule, says the International Society of Female Professionals. Remember, if you’re grabbing dinner with friends, you’re not just socializing, you’re also building up your career network. Of course, moms, dads, and everyone else need social time and R&R. There’s nothing wrong with that. Building support networks or enrolling kids in afterschool programs they can attend on their own could be a vital step for parents looking to advance their careers.

Corporate Law: The Basic Principles

San Francisco has long been thought of as a town a bit too far left of left. As James Hurysz and others remember, it’s had a long history of being liberal, free-flowing, and far less conservative than other locales. However, it’s also been a city of change, being the birthplace of the tech boom as well as the ancestral home of some of the most prolific and influential writers and artists in the 1960s and 1970s. Unfortunately, today, San Francisco is leaning so far off track, it has now triggered just as much of a hard reaction by pushing back. James Hurysz reflects on the same view as others on the outside; the city’s government has embraced the idea of non-enforcement to the point that homelessness, drugs, and crime have made the city unlivable for regular people and businesses. And that has pushed businesses to the point of something that is fundamental to American independence: a tax revolt. The frustration and anger of businesses in San Francisco aren’t restricted just to the City by the Bay, from what James Hurysz sees online. It’s been happening across the country in other locations with a similar attitude towards social leniency. Unfortunately, too much leniency has come with too much of a cost. Businesses are constantly being robbed or vandalized, customers threatened, and sidewalks soiled badly on a daily basis. Yet, when business owners beg the municipality for help and law enforcement, the most liberal cities have taken a “hands-off” approach. As a result, many businesses have gotten to the point where they are closing, leaving, and failing. Those ventures that have survived to date are drawing a line in the sand, refusing to pay any more in business taxes to get their cities’ attention. James Hurysz is not surprised or shocked. Cities are no different than any other organic development, argues James Hurysz. They thrive best with a balance. Clearly, the zenith of conservatism is a police state run by corporations, and the extreme opposite is what is happening in San Francisco. Neither are healthy or long-lasting. Ideally, a healthy city is one that finds a balance between social liberalism and protecting its business community so that income generation can help long-term growth and support the city’s programs. When, however, municipalities treat their businesses like cash cows, only good for income and no protection at all. Then, at some point, James Hurysz notes even the most giving of companies have a breaking point. That is what is happening in San Francisco with its small business tax revolt. The sentiments today are no different from those of the colonists during the Boston Tea Party. At a certain point, the colonists under the abuse of England using them as a tax coffer got sick of their treatment. And they pushed back. While no one expects San Francisco to be the start of the next American Revolution, the aspect of government delegitimizing itself still exists. And if those in local government don’t pay attention, they will find their entire system being fundamentally changed again from the ground up. Balance protects all elements, social and business. Protect the balance and everyone grows within limits. Ignore it, and change comes quickly and chaotically
