About this session
Being a working parent is the role most people are doing without ever having been trained for. Built specifically for the "Time Management" context, this session stays concrete and respects your team's time.
Participants leave with scripts, structures and a clearer sense of what's normal.
What your people take away
- Design the mental-load audit and how to rebalance it
- Negotiate co-regulation basics drawn from polyvagal theory (useful for toddlers and colleagues both)
- Apply the maternal-mental-health signals worth tracking in the first year
- Build the parental-leave return conversation with your manager — the structure that works
- Protect the systemic family-therapy lens — the family is a system, and you're in it
