The Working Parent Equation: Balancing Small Humans and Big Careers - Hardcover

by Georgie Rudd (Author)

For working parents, it's a noisy world of opinion and expectation. Friends, family and social media all offer advice that seems credible, but can be contradictory, outdated or unhelpful. Plus there's that shrill inner voice telling you you're failing on all fronts...

What if you knew how to turn down the volume and tune into your best thinking? What if you had the tools to ensure your precious reserves of energy were focused on the things that count the most?

Finding your own way to balance the equation of loving your children and your career without losing yourself along the way has never been more important.

In this warm and authentic guide, Georgie Rudd, an accredited executive coach to hundreds of brilliant leaders with the equally demanding job of parenting, puts the power of coaching into the hands of all working parents.

• Practical, easy-to-use diagnostic tools.
• Deep, pragmatic understanding of the real world of corporate work.
• Honest stories highlighting what every parent finds hard and what to do about it.

The Working Parent Equation helps you get clear on what success looks like for you, and gives you the resources to achieve it, sustainably.

Whether you're making the pivotal return to work after parental leave or your challenging teen is making you doubt yourself, whether you're talking yourself out of a promotion you really want to pursue or you're trying to protect your non-negotiables at home, this book has your back.
