About this event

  • 1 hour

This event is for ambitious soon to be parents who are wondering how to combine their ambitious careers with parenting. Attendees will learn what actions they can take now to future proof their careers, and give them the best start in successfully navigating this new phase of their lives.

During this panel event you will hear from working parents who have navigated the challenge of adjusting to becoming a parent whilst maintaining ambitious careers having all secured promotions whilst on maternity leave. They will share their honest reflections on what worked (and what didn’t), you will take home some practical tips and also be comforted by the knowledge that you are not alone and it is possible to make a senior career work alongside being a parent.

Leaders Plus is a social enterprise enabling talented women and men with young children to continue to develop their leadership careers. Too often parents feel they have to choose between being a good parent and a fulfilling leadership career, we exist to change this.

We run an award-winning Fellowship Programme for Leaders with Babies and young children to help them continue to progress on their career ladder. 27% of Fellows have been promoted 6 months after completing the Fellowship programme, even though they all have babies and toddlers and some have attended the programme while on maternity leave.

We are a Social Enterprise registered as Community Interest Company.
