Room to Think
Your employer deserves your best work. Your partner deserves your best self. Your aging loved ones deserve more of your attention. Your child deserves more than you can imagine.
You deserve to have our help crafting
your game plan.
Give your team room to think boldly about how to pursue both their career goals and their family goals. It builds trust and can keep your leadership pipeline full of diverse team members.
Cohort-based coaching to develop a Personal Annual Plan. The career coaching is designed in a structured workshop format that leads participants to design a Personal Annual Plan that integrates their career goals with a caregiving plan. It can be delivered as either one three-hour workshop or as a series of three one-hour sessions. Special focus is given to how the employee can broaden their personal "care infrastructure" to reduce stress and create room for more professional growth.
The Personal Annual Plan workshop can be offered by HR leaders across the enterprise, by ERG leaders for their members, or by individual managers looking for a fresh way to engage and develop their teams. Often it is offered to align the Personal Annual Plan with a new financial year or a new calendar year, so that the individual's professional plan and personal plan can be most effectively designed.
A cohort can include all types of caregivers, or it can be customized for specific employee groups that an employer wants to support. Targeted cohorts can focus on solo parents, dual career couples, expectant and/or newly returning parents, family caregivers, or employees in the "Sandwich Generation" caring for both kids and an adult, or employees in a specific Employee Resource Group. An employer can sponsor multiple cohorts simultaneously so employees can self-select into the group that provides the best fit.
Many employers choose to supplement the cohort experience with a 1:1 coaching session for each participant to help them troubleshoot their plan and put it in action successfully.

Struggling to navigate the COVID-19 world as a working parent or family caregiver
-
Preparing for or returning from family leave
-
Working towards a promotion (or congrats you just got one!) and need to re-design how your work and family work together
-
Considering resignation because your work and caregiving roles don’t seem to fit
-
Planning to start your family or anticipating that you'll become a family caregiver
Coaching sessions are conducted via Zoom during work hours. Consider it the ultimate “working lunch” or your “standing 2pm conference call.” Clients can self-pay or propose to their employer to cover the cost of career coaching. Resources for proposing this to your manager or HR lead are available.
