Returning to work after maternity leave or a longer career break is a big transition and the research shows that - for many women - their return to work happens sooner than they are ready and is harder than they expect.
But there are concrete things you can do to help you prepare and adjust to your new normal, and I’ve put them together in this handy checklist. |
Work-life balance is both personal and dynamic, and based on our priorities. We don’t need a magic formula that fixes everything. Instead we need to connect with our deeper intuitive wisdom and create a vision of our ideal balance.
A good place to start to create this vision is by getting crystal clear about your values and priorities in life. Armed with this knowledge it will be much easier to effectively allocate your time and resources. If you’re not sure what matters most to you, you can learn more about where you stand by completing this 'My Life & Career Values & Priorities' exercise. |
How do you figure out which career is right for you?
The first step in the career exploration process is knowing yourself. The more you understand yourself and your motivations, the more informed and productive your career search process will be, and the more likely you'll find a career that is the best fit for you. A good place to start is by identifying your values, strengths and passions, and my list of 20 self-discovery questions will help you do just that. |
