Meet Barri Waltcher, Our Parent-Career Blogger

Parents, thinking about your career? Our savvy career advice blogger Barri Waltcher–an NYC-based advisor who helps women navigate the transition from parenting back to a satisfying career–has covered topics like tips for improving your resume and why volunteering is good for your career. Her latest post about Sheryl Sandberg’s new book, Lean In, discusses how corporate practices should change to accommodate the practical needs of working women.

What we love about Barri is that she has two teenage children and, like her clients, she has made her own transitions, from lawyer to full-time parent (with some excessive volunteering on the side) to a career she is passionate about. And considering she’s the co-founder of Mind Your Own Business Moms (MYOBmoms.com), she’s clearly a sound authority on career topics. To get more of her great tips, see all of her posts here.
