What working parents and carers say...
We judge ourselves by the feedback we receive from you
"Thank you for all your help and input. It was incredibly useful...It means I will be going back to work better prepared mentally for the challenges and life won't take me quite so much by surprise."
"I liked learning about 'shouldy thinking'. It's memorable and gives me something to take away and try to use to be less rigid in what I want so I can react more positively. I found the talk quite motivating. I'm going to be trying to spot my 'time stealers' and rethink them as well. "
"I really got a lot from talking with other Dads today. It's opened my eyes, almost as though I've been waiting three years for this conversation, since my first child was born."
"It's very interesting to be able to communicate our struggles and give and share opinions. The interactive nature is most beneficial."
"The workshop was very soon after I came back and I have since had a good conversation with my manager about goal-setting - the goals had been set too low before. Now it looks good. The case studies brought out how women are feeling and it was very helpful for me on how to address concerns with my manager... If I had not gone on the programme I would have gone in blind."
"The most valuable aspect is to get the perspective of other people within the firm in the same boat, in a similar situation."
"It was very helpful that the facilitator understood the firm and the nature of our work so well."
