Optinet Resources: Helping business people build social networks that not only help them "get ahead" in their businesses or careers but also help them "get through" by balancing and supporting their lives. 

 

". . .a leading health researcher compared the health risk associated with social isolation to that of smoking cigarettes and other key health risk factors. . . "  

 

Optinet Resources: Introducing a fundamentally new notion of networking.  The old, '80s notion -- exchanging business cards and acquiring trophy contacts--left us wanting.  Optinet Resources’ new model ensures that as people get to the top, they survive the ride.

 

". . .A 2004 national survey, conducted by Duke University . . . showed that fully one-quarter of Americans could name no close confidants, nearly 50% named two or fewer. . ."

Optinet Resources was founded by a team of sociologists with a combined 60 years of research in the area of social networks. “Our studies revealed the urgent need for people to build balanced, optimal networks for both business resources and social support,” says Dr. Jeanne Hurlbert, co-founder and CEO.  “No one was doing that in a systematic way. But our years of research had given us the tools already.”

Combining network assessment, coaching, and development services, Optinet Resources helps entrepreneurs and individuals in corporations build and use optimal networks effectively. The company offers special services for business women, as well as disaster services to help businesses (a) develop effective business continuity plans and (b) recover from a disaster. Notes Dr. Hurlbert, “Katrina was a poignant example of what the lack of such plans can create – chaos and unnecessary misery added to an already horrible situation.”
