Posted on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 @ 03:51 PM
Be sure to grab your copy of the August/September issue of Working Mother magazine out of the mail pile or off the newsstand. Along with its usual fare of tips and advice for working moms, this issue features our own Allison O'Kelly!
In the Entrepreneur Mom column, Allison shares her story of starting Mom Corps five years ago. "Barely back from maternity leave, I couldn’t seem to clock in eight straight hours at the office," she told Working Mother. "I didn’t want to be the employee who kept being called out, but I also had to be there for my son—who, as it turns out, has a dairy allergy."
Sound familiar? She goes on to talk about how she left her executive job, started consulting from home, and soon found she had more work than she could handle -- from employers who wanted to work with talented professionals like Allison. Mom Corps was born.
