Maternity Coaching
Having children is probably one of the most exciting, rewarding, emotional and stressful experiences in equal measure. It is one of the times in your life when you will go through a true-life change, and for many people, both women and men, that change can be a huge challenge to reconcile with your career.
These days, having children usually coincides with a time in your life when you are making real traction in your career, and it can be very hard to know how best to navigate and adapt to everything that parenthood throws at you. I offer coaching for women who are becoming mothers and are keen to make sure they have a plan for their maternity leave period and for the time that follows.
Support: Before Baby Arrives
There is always a lot to consider and plan for in the run-up to your maternity leave.
- How do you effectively manage expectations with your employer about your plans for returning to work?
- How can you best handle conversations about potential changes in working patterns?
- How would you like to keep in contact with your employer whilst you are on leave?
- How can you leave things in good shape, making a lasting impact?
Support: During Maternity Leave
I can support you if you find you feel differently about what you had planned once your child arrives, something which often happens. I can also work with you to mentally, emotionally and physically prepare for your return to work.
Support: After Your Return
I can support you during those first months when you may experience a lack of confidence and ultimately help you make a career plan for the longer term.
For you as an individual, a programme of coaching during this time can really support you and give you the time and space to think through your worries and the “unknowns” that inevitably come with a change of this scale, but can also help support you to become successful as a mum with a career.
Maternity Coaching For Businesses
For businesses, maternity coaching can be an extremely powerful tool in supporting and retaining your female talent.
Women often appreciate an impartial party at this time, who can help them through this period of change, and who will work with them non-judgmentally and objectively, at a time when they have a lot of get their head around, and are often concerned about how they may be perceived at work during this period when they are changing physically and emotionally.
Career Coaching
It can be very easy to put off making decisions about your career direction. It can be a difficult conversation to pursue with friends or loved ones, particularly if you have a nagging desire that you’d like to change direction, but you are not sure what that looks like, and you potentially still have to juggle financial and family considerations.
That’s where career coaching comes in.
Is Career Coaching For You?
- Are you successful in your career but feel that it’s time for a change of direction?
- Do you have a nagging feeling that the right career for you is out there, but you don’t know how to get it?
- Would you like to change careers but don’t know what you’d like to do, or maybe you know what you’d like to do but don’t know how to make it happen?
- Would you like to start your own business, but are not sure where to start?
- Have you taken a few years off to bring up your family and have now decided you would like to return to work?
