Who I Work With
WorkLife Balance Solutions works with mothers and mothers-to-be. My clients are working Mums, who have demanding jobs and equally demanding home lives, and they want to give their best to both. Very often, they are Mums, who want to change their career, so that they can look after their children in the way that suits them best.Their children may be different ages, but they face similar struggles of balancing their priorities.
Are some of these statements true for you? You’re in a real quandary about whether to return to work after maternity leave. You can’t bear the thought of leaving your baby, but you feel you’ll get bored and frustrated staying at home and you need the money. You’re returning to work after maternity leave and you don’t feel confident that you can ‘cut it’ in your work like you used to. You’ve got used to spending time at home with your baby, with your mind on feeding and nappies and all that goes with looking after him or her. You’ve been happily immersed in the world of mother and baby groups and you’re not sure how you’re going to fit back into the business world. You’ve returned to part-time work after maternity leave and feel that you’ve been sidelined. You no longer get asked to do the interesting and responsible parts of your job that you were so good at. Your boss doesn’t think to mention opportunities for promotion or advancing your career to you. You’ve had a career break of several years and you want to return to work now your children are older. You feel totally out of touch with the world of work and you’re worried that your skills and experience are out-of-date and no employer will be interested in you. You feel guilty that you want to work as well as have children. You feel that you’re a second-class mother because you’re not a stay-at-home mother and somehow your children may be missing out. Your job no longer gives you the satisfaction that it used to and you resent the time away from your children. You don’t want to give up work completely and you need some income coming in, but you don’t know what to do. Childcare is a continual headache and you want to find work that fits in better with the kind of childcare you want your children to have, or helps you to manage better around school holidays. You’re fed up with the constant stress of trying to juggle your work commitments, run around after the kids and keep your home running smoothly. You feel tired all the time and you keep thinking that there must be more to life than this. All you seem to do is work, look after the kids’ needs and get the household chores done and you never have time for you. You feel you’re spread too thin and you never have enough time to do anything well, even though you want to be good at your career, be a good mother and a good partner, have a well-kept home and keep up some of your own interests. If one or more of those statements are true for you, WorkLife Balance Solutions can help. However, what we offer doesn’t suit everyone – you need to put in a certain amount of commitment and have some determination to make changes. You’re most likely to benefit from what WorkLife Balance Solutions can offer if you: • Really want to make a difference to how you live your life • Recognise that investing time in yourself will benefit your family and those you care about • Believe that you’re responsible for your own changes and that you have a choice about what you do with your life • Are prepared to spend regular time standing back from the busyness of life, to be proactive, not reactive • Are open to looking at problems positively and imaginatively Now that you know who I work with, click on How I Work for more information about what you can expect from WorkLife Balance Solutions.
