THRIVING PARENTS - LET'S TALK
You don’t need to choose between being a parent and having a career.
ENROLL NOWTrust us, it will only take a few hours to create a framework for your perfect work life balance.
As a working mum or dad, have you felt the daily exhaustion and battles?
You want to drop the children at school but have a work presentation at 8.30 am, you don't want to miss the Christmas school play but there's a meeting at 3pm, you put the children to bed but now need to start work again to finish a report that's due tomorrow.....and all the while the internal battle of feeling you need to choose between work and family because you think you have it all so, well, just wrong.

I've always had work and family ambitions, both of which are really important to me, so never dreamed I would have to choose. But the reality is that as soon as you become a working parent, hard choices have to be made every day. Add to this the comments, the perfected 'looks' (how do they do that?!) and the internal guilt which all help to raise your stress levels to the max! As a working mum with 15 years' business experience in management roles for international companies, I completely understand the challenges to succeed in an organization while being on-call for your family. I have also been expatriate for 6 years now and know more than well the difficulties of a family move, cultural differences, different school and support systems together with dual-career management ...just to name a few! Honestly, I've made some great choices and some really bad ones, have had some successes and some huge f - ups (sorry) in trying to manage everything at work and at home. I haven't managed to grow an extra pair of hands just yet. But one thing I can honestly say is that I have absolutely no regrets because I have learnt so much about life and myself and can now help other working parents to navigate their way through.
Whether you are a mum or a dad, we know it's really hard to juggle family and a career.
We ALL think we can do both brilliantly (until we realise we can't remember our own name or where we live - sorry Officer!) - we don't like letting people down and we find ourselves overlooking what we really want at home and at work (must learn to say 'No' a bit more often!). We could keep up the appearance of being a superhero but it won't last and that cape is starting to look like it needs a wash. The critical element in all of this is YOU and if you become a former shadow of yourself then you certainly won't be at the top of your game at work or home. You really don't want to be in this vicious circle for long.

We're here to help!
Through Group Coaching, the programme or workshop will be designed around a specific topic that the group all have the same interest in or focus of development. We'll combine pure coaching, based on an agreed agenda with workshop / training and access to proven successful strategies and tactics.
YOUR ALTERNATIVES
Of course you could go it alone, rely on family and friends to support you in your career goals but think about the following. Where do you go when your car breaks down, you need a haircut or financial advice? Unless you trust your friend to do any of these (definitely not the hair cut please), you will more than likely call in a professional to help you. And that's where we come in (apart from cars, hair cuts or finances).
Group Coaching is an excellent shared learning experience. You'll meet people with similar struggles and concerns and do the coaching programme from start to finish together. You'll be there to witness the growth and development of others in the group...and have your own witnessed by them . This is ultimately your in-built ready made support system during the group programme, you can offer thoughts and solutions to everyone at any time.
A shared learning environment is so productive!
This brings increased accountability for all group members than one to one or individual coaching sessions. Your motivation and confidence will increase when you are reporting your progress to a group of people you have grown to trust and admire.
You'll finally be able to Thrive at both home and work!
