PARENTAL LEAVE COACHING

There are few transitions bigger than the one that comes with moving from being a working person to a working parent. Parental leave coaching enables both parents and businesses to transform this critical period into an opportunity for professional evolution and growth.

By leveraging expert coaching, parents can navigate this transition with confidence, while businesses can retain valuable talent and foster a supportive, dynamic work environment. Embrace the potential of parental leave to create a thriving professional and personal life.

For Parents

You've dedicated years to building your career, and becoming a parent (or welcoming another child into your family) doesn't mean your professional ambitions have to take a backseat. In fact, parenting offers invaluable lessons in leadership, organizational management, and creative problem-solving that can enhance your effectiveness in your career.

As a certified RETAIN parental leave coach, our coaching services empower you to align your values and priorities, helping you manage the evolving logistics of parenthood with confidence. We guide you in crafting thoughtful leave plans that alleviate anxiety while keeping your professional goals on track. Additionally, we support you in developing healthy boundaries, ensuring you feel prepared and present both at work and at home.

Embrace the journey of parenthood without compromising your career aspirations. Let us help you thrive in both areas with personalized coaching tailored to your unique needs.

For Businesses

Equip your working parents and their managers with the necessary tools and support to effectively manage this significant transition.

Parental leave coaching offers the opportunity to foster a vibrant, engaged organizational culture. According to Gallup, the cost of replacing an individual employee can range from one-half to two times the employee's annual salary -- and that's a conservative estimate. How your team members are supported when they welcome a new child can dramatically impact employee retention, instances of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and even infant mortality rates.

By offering comprehensive support to both expecting parents and their managers before, during, and after parental leave, your entire team can view this period not just as something to endure, but as a growth opportunity for everyone involved. Implementing a parental leave coaching program enhances your employees' well-being, enriches your company culture, and boosts your bottom line.

Our parental leave coaching employs an evidence-based model backed by decades of research, boasting a proven track record of increasing employee retention. We transform "parental leave" into "parental stay" by equipping parents and managers with the tools they need for a smooth transition.
