Parents Returning to Work Programme

Returning to work after a period of maternity or paternity leave is hard enough; trust me, I know this first-hand!

Maybe your self-confidence has taken a battering since having a baby and being out of the loop for so long; maybe you are worried your baby brain isn’t up to the job; maybe you are nervous because a lot of people you knew at work have left; or maybe you are wondering how on earth you are going to get everything done at work and at home.

These days, a lot of parents have to return to work for financial reasons, and many also want to work for their own interests and self-development. However, there’s nothing worse than dropping off your child at nursery or school to commute to a soul-destroying job that you hate.

Life’s too short to be

full of such dread each day.

 The programme provides a structured framework for coaching in the form of interesting and engaging exercises, which will bring out the creativity and resourcefulness in you, and direct it toward discovering the right next step for your working life.

We will explore together:

Your values and life purpose

Your personal strengths and achievements

Your interests and passions

Your favourite job skills and key work motivators

Your preferred work environment and ideal working day

Everything you need in your working life to be motivated and satisfied

Idea Generation:

This is a very creative part of the coaching programme where together you generate a number of possible new career choices.

The idea here is to be expansive, to think outside the box, not to be constrained by traditional notions of what’s possible.

The ACTION stage is the point where you visualise, plan out, and start to implement the top possibility that was decided on and committed to at the IDEAS phase.

The coaching sessions are not a quick fix but an investment of time, commitment, energy and acceptance of responsibility towards your future, and how it turns out.
