Finding career solutions for parents
As a career coach, I have had the pleasure of having a front row view of the dreams and goals of many. From students, newlyweds, first jobbers, promotion seekers, career changers to budding entrepreneurs and more, it continues to be my honour to help people achieve clarity and success in their career goals. Oh… and much faster than they’d be able to do in isolation.
Since becoming a mum earlier this year however, I have been fascinated by how much changes when you become a parent. I mean really changes. Sometimes unrecognisably. Priorities, purpose, perspective – to name just a few. If you’re a parent, I imagine you’ll agree that things you always knew about yourself and your professional ambitions may have altered in unexpected ways since your little one/s entered your world.
It’s with that in mind that I have embraced a new purpose of my own – career solutions for parents. I.e. to take those same career coaching skills I have used for years and apply them specifically to parents. Apply the power of coaching to support mums and dads who recognise the importance that careers play in the lifestyle they want for their families – but don’t always know how to approach their professional lives which now need to be balanced with their greatest blessings… Their child/ren. (Balanced in different ways, as appropriate to each family unit)
So… In the words of Jerry Maguire, “help me help you” (please!)
If you are a parent, you would be a HUGE help with this mission if you would spend a few of your precious minutes to respond to this quick survey. It’s mobile friendly so can be done wherever you are.
From aspiring to be a stay-at-home-mum to fully embracing full time corporate employment – your response to this survey will help me ensure we aren’t mourning careers left right and centre. Your insights will lead to the creation of awesome goodies designed to help ensure parents have the tools needed to evolve, not be held hostage by or bury their careers.
It’s a quickie… remember you can participate here now – http://www.surveymoz.com/s/QORVI/ (and share this with any friends who’d find this relevant!)
