Best of Both Worlds: Growing A Family While Growing a Career | Online

About this event

Working parents have always had to navigate the impossible bind of succeeding in both their full-time jobs and their role in full-time child care, where a slight interference of one duty with the other, penalises them heavily.

As people move up the career ladder, employers continue to raise their expectations for their workers to be available on-demand. However, parenthood does not allow for time to allow both to co-exist peacefully. As such, we often wonder how there are parents who in fact seem to effectively juggle the work-family equilibrium. For soon-to-be parents, how can you pre-empt yourself to continue your upward trajectory while caring for your young kids at the same time?

Join us in this event as we bring speakers who will share their stories and struggles of their working-parent journey so far. They will offer a couple of strategies to coast through your career whilst raising your children. This includes how to position yourself for opportunities to advance in your career and how to choose and prioritise high-value projects and activities so that you can still achieve both work and home life satisfaction.
