Managing Boss & Baby E-Course

When professional men and women reach their early 30's, not only do they start considering having children, the leadership gap between the sexes becomes even more pronounced.

As many as 30% of professional women decide to not return to work following their maternity leave as a result of feeling that it's not possible to have both career and family life.

Of the mothers who return, a further 30% leave the workplace within the first 2-years and 60% opt-out of promotion opportunities for fear of the impact this will have on their work-life balance, and yet, their career aspirations remain unfulfilled.

Many women are HESITANT to inform their boss and colleagues about their pregnancy. They FEAR their career may be in jeopardy and don't want to be replaced or overlooked at work.

Prior to the maternity break, there is a great deal of ANXIETY and STRESS involved in the planning and handing over of roles and responsibilities.

Women often feel that asking for help, or reduced hours, will be perceived as a WEAKNESS or inability to cope with the job.

They feel that they will LOOSE credibility and promotion potential when they become mothers.

Don't just "wing it"! Make sure you have a plan, wherever possible rehearse and know exactly how you will manage ongoing communication with your team and boss.

Some of the mistakes women often make include: informing colleagues of the news before their boss, not asking for what they need, wasting precious energy on feeling stressed and worried, and not practising self-care.

You could manage this period alone without the benefit of being part of a supportive network, and the lessons learnt from thousands of women before you.

You could also wing it and manage important work conversations without confidence.

You could also react on a day-to-day basis and soon later regret some of your choices and decisions.

How quickly will I see results and start relaxing into my pregnancy at work?

Let us be honest….extremely fast action takers WILL see almost immediate results. Slower than sea-snails implementers may see painfully slow results! Are you a doer or a talker? That is the bottom line. We can give you the tools and strategies (and bug you to use them) but we can’t do the work for you. You get what you put in!

Will it work for me if I am a temporary employee, VP of Sales or (insert job title)?

These proven strategies work in every role women hold no matter how junior or senior. If you want to ......, this mini-program will get you there. Whether you wish to effectively manage your relationship with your boss, this will get you there. Bottom line: You do the work and these strategies will get you the results. Although if you are a VP of Sales, perhaps you can teach US a few things….you know for research purposes.

Why can’t I just manage my maternity transition myself?

Of course you can. But here’s the thing, we have spent hundreds of hours learning, coaching, tweaking, testing and actually seeing the results you wish for…all because of our experience as coaches and Diversity & Inclusion consultants with working parents and their employers. You can either see this as a once-in-a-blue moon opportunity to get your hands on this proven program or you can continue reacting to work-situations and felling anxious about your situation….sometimes complaining, mostly worrying and ultimately leaving on your maternity leave unsure of what role you will return to.

What happens after I buy?

We will wave our magic digital wand and set you up with a secure membership area which is magically filled up with all trainings & templates we mention here…yes all yours..instantly…drip-feeding is for babies, and although we adore babies, we don’t do that here.

What if I hate it? Do I get a refund?

You have a full FOURTEEN days to try it and if you don’t think it is the BEST pre-maternity program you have ever come across, we will refund every penny. We won’t ask you to show us that you have done the work or chastise you for not trying enough or pretend to be “holier than thou” and ask you all sorts of disrespectful questions about why you didn’t get the results. Send us one email and we will issue a refund.

You could carry on doing the same until now, spending hours worrying and anticipating the unknown. This only hurts you and it's not healthy for the baby. The more you can prepare and plan NOW, the easier the handover of your work will be and the smoother your maternity transition will be.
