maternity coaching
Imagine being supported through what is probably the biggest transition in your life. From executive to mother. Then back to executive and mother.
Maternity coaching is becoming increasingly popular in successful businesses. Becoming a working mother can be a difficult and emotional experience. Many women give up hard-earned careers when the juggling act becomes too much.
I help women to deal with their responsibilities and identities both at work and at home. Together we find solutions to help ease the transition, thus enabling them to remain focused on their careers so that their expertise and valuable experience is not lost.
Recruiting new staff is a time-consuming and costly exercise and one that can often be avoided by ensuring that professional mothers remain happy and committed at work.
More and more, people desire and expect their employers to acknowledge and meet the needs of those with families. I also work with an HR professional who can help create and implement a family-friendly policy in your business to attract and retain such people.
In addition I work with an expert in child development and family dynamics. We deliver workshops aimed at helping and supporting employees to better deal with issues surrounding being a working parent. For example, the arrival of a new baby, choosing childcare and any developmental or behavioural issues, all of which help to alleviate stress and contribute to a better work/life balance.
