'Return To Work With Confidence' Workshop

​Are you soon heading back to work, and want to feel prepared, positive and in control of the next few months - at work and at home?

Many mums feel a mixture of thoughts and emotions about returning to work after maternity leave. On the one hand there’s the excitement and anticipation of getting your brain back in action, regular adult conversation, dressing up and being able to eat your lunch in peace. On the other hand, there are feelings of dread, anxiousness and self-doubt. Can I still do my job? Will I fit in? Will my manager and colleagues see me differently? How am I going to manage my work on top of all my home and family responsibilities? 

If you think that you could benefit from taking some time out to work through some of these feelings, join us for my next ‘Return To Work With Confidence’ workshop.

About My 'Return To Work With Confidence' Workshop

​
The workshop will give you the opportunity to learn, reflect and share experiences with like-minded women in a similar situation to you. I'll be asking questions to facilitate your thinking and using tailored tools and techniques to help you overcome both the emotional and practical challenges that many women face on their journey back to work. My aim is to leave you feeling prepared, upbeat and confident about your return, in control of the transition, and set up for success - both at work and at home. 

What Does The Workshop Cover?

​
Here are some of the practical and emotional issues involved in returning to work that we’ll cover during the workshop depending on the needs of the group:
​
  • Your values and life priorities, and the different career options available to you. 
  • Developing your self-belief and confidence, and finding the 'working you' again.
  • The practicalities of returning to work including childcare arrangements, building your support network, and setting and communicating new boundaries.  
  • Feelings of working mother's guilt and how to overcome them.
  • Balancing different identities and roles at work and at home.
  • Renegotiating your role and scope for flexible working,
  • Establishing and communicating sustainable working patterns. 
  • Maximising your effectiveness and performance once you get back to work.
  • Building new workplace relationships.
  • Devising and demonstrating your 'personal brand' - how do you want to be known in the workplace? 
  • Career development next steps.

What Will You Gain?

​
​The workshop will: 

  • Help you to actively manage the transition back to work smoothly and effectively by ensuring you own the process and are in a positive mindset.
  • Give you the opportunity to talk through and get to the bottom of the issues surrounding returning to work on an emotional as well as a practical level. Guilt is often a difficult emotion that is not often discussed but weighs heavily on some working mums.
  • Make you feel more confident and better equipped to handle any challenges that might lie ahead.

You will come away from the workshop with a concrete return-to-work action plan, along with a plan for your first 90 days back in the workplace so you'll know exactly what you'll need to do once you get there. 

Who Is The Workshop For? 


​It's for women currently on maternity leave, whether you are a first time mum, or a mum on second, third or more child.​

When And Where? 


The workshop consists of two 3-hour sessions. In the first session we'll be focusing on mapping out your route back to work, and in the second session, on what to do once you get there. ​
