Work & Parenthood

Being a working parent is a balancing act, and it is not easy. With children, your life changes, your priorities shift, and your values evolve. Not only is it logistically difficult and physically exhausting, it can be very disorienting. Who am I now? What matters to me? Are my professional goals the same as they were before? What kind of parent do I want to be? What is my parenting revealing about myself? Is the picture of that smiling lady up there even possible??

Laura provides a space for you to ask and explore your questions about work and parenthood. She brings coaching tools to a situation too often treated as a time management issue, and confronts hard truths with you about being a working parent in a society set up on a model (working father / stay-at-home mother) that looks far different than most families do today.

To do this whole working parent thing successfully, you need to really get in tune with your own voice and values. Only you know what you really need, what you really want, what is right for your career and your family. With compassion, open-mindedness, and a firm grounding in reality, Laura will help you ask the questions, consider the possibilities, chart your course, and find your way.

For organisations looking to support working parents, Laura offers bespoke programmes of group coaching and 1-1 support.
