Work Like a Mother assists mothers
through a cutting edge, solution-oriented
counseling and coaching process, including:
All of these help mothers embark on a
journey leading to a new sense of
professional identity and of self confidence.
Moms don't "return to work." Not by a long
shot. Rather, a woman will embrace a new
stage in her career development which
incorporates both professional and family
activities. This looks nothing like the career
of the professional that she may have been
back in her 20's, so already she is off the
hook. This work is done through the clearly
understood lens and reality of stay-at-home
motherhood. Mothers do not always return to
the profession they may have left behind, in
fact many do not. Rather they incorporate
decades of life experience, work history,
educational knowledge, skills, interests,
passions and values... then package all of
these into meaningful and attainable life goals.

Tips · Have a sense of humor about yourself · There is nothing glamorous about incorporating professional activities into a full-time job as a mom · Be prepared to feel overwhelmed, in a good, exciting and challenging way. · Perfection is out of the question, so part with this idea right from the start. · Get started now, whether you intend to work outside the home in 6 months or 6 years. You'll benefit from the fuel you get from owning this part of yourself. · This process is not a straight, predictable road. Rather it is filled with interesting, unexpected turns and bumps, often ending up in an unexpectedly wonderful place. · The prime obstacle is your self confidence. Focus on building yourself back up. · Again, have a sense of humor about yourself! |
