Wellbeing for Working Parents

The pandemic has highlighted that stress on working parents has never been greater. The boundaries of work, home (and home school) have blurred, leading us to live more pressured lives, without our usual support systems in place. Working parents often feel torn between competing priorities, and the stress of trying to ‘do it all’ can lead to feelings of overwhelm, or even burnout. 

We’ve teamed up with transformational coach and the renowned parenting expert to deliver a series of webinars to give working parents some much needed support. 

Wellbeing for Working Parents

In this signature workshop, working parents will learn practical, actionable and impactful tools to help navigate their working lives. Topics covered:

• Understand the concept of having it all versus being good enough.
• The reality of working parenthood – statistics from the latest studies.
• Focus on what matters and how to manage conflicting priorities.
• Get clarity on what’s working and not working.
• Create a practical plan to support you in feeling empowered and successful.
• Understand wellbeing for parents including asking for help, boundaries, and self-care.

This workshop is ideal for KIT days, supporting staff returning from paternity and maternity leave, or to provide on-going support to staff with children of all ages. Suitable for mothers, fathers and step-parents.

Wellbeing for Working Parents during Covid

Motherhood and Career: How to Find your Flow 
Being a working mother can leave you feeling pulled in all directions and without support, it can easily begin to feel like you are failing at work, and failing at home – with a constant state of stress and overwhelm bubbling under the surface. This powerful workshop from a transformational coach and motherhood expert will guide your employees to work out what is really important to them at work and home, and share powerful tools to support them in feeling more empowered, productive and confident at work and home. This 60 min workshop will cover: 

• Working mother guilt: What it really is and how to reframe it  
• Defining your own version of success as a working mother
• How to set boundaries to become more productive at work and home 
• Self care: Micro tools to build resilience 
• Q&A, reflections and next steps 

Work and Family life: Finding Balance 
It’s been 20 years since the concept of ‘Work/Life balance’ entered the lexicon – and now it needs a rethink. In her work with thousands of working parents, our workshop leader has found that in this striving for perfect ‘balance’ it creates more stress and is on a mission to create a new narrative for working parents. 

In this 60 min workshop, our transformational coach Zoe will share with your employees a new way to approach the tensions between work and family life. This coaching style workshop is based on the latest insights and will leave attendees with a new way to think about how they divide their time, what’s really important to them and how to be fully present both at work and home. This 60 min workshop will cover: 

• Why perfect balance is a myth and what to aim for instead 
• The power of presence: quality time over quantity of time 
• Discovering what’s really important to you and how to align your time accordingly 
• How to set boundaries to become more productive at work and home 
• Q&A, reflections and next steps.

Returning to Work (Post-maternity or shared parental leave)
Returning to work post maternity or shared parental leave can be a challenging time – you are now returning to work with different priorities and concerns. Our transformational coach and motherhood expert supports employees to make this transition positive and productive through her unique insights and experience. This workshop can be delivered to employees still on maternity/shared parental leave and to those who have already returned. This 60 min workshop will cover: 

• A time of transition: what to expect and tools to support
• Understand your shifting identity and find a new confidence 
• Support and help: understand what you need and how to ask for it 
• How to set boundaries at work and home – to find more ease in both
