You’re a working mom or dad – or planning to become one. You want to succeed on the job, be a present and loving parent – and stay healthy, whole, and yourself in the process. But the question is…how?

In this practical, encouraging, and interactive workshop, Daisy Dowling – an executive coach, leading expert on working parenthood, and author of Workparent: The Complete Guide to Succeeding on the Job, Staying True to Yourself, and Raising Happy Kids – will teach you.

During this workshop, Daisy will cover essential techniques and tools that will allow you to become a more successful and satisfied working parent. You’ll leave the workshop with practical tools and new perspectives that will enable you to:

  • Take charge and get ahead in your career – while finding the time and “flex” needed to be the parent you want to be.
  • Create a larger and more effective network of working parent help and support.
  • Handle your time, calendar – and all of those day-to-day working parent responsibilities and logistics
  • Communicate effectively and authentically both as a professional and parent.
  • Diffuse guilt, overwhelm, and other (completely normal!) working parent emotions.
  • Prepare for the “next to normal” at home and work.
  • Feel more confident and in control, both as a caregiver and professional.
