In any job it is highly likely that at some point you will experience feelings of stagnation and lack of progression as well as imposter syndrome once you reach the top. Add in maternity leave and children into the mix and these feelings are often magnified affecting your confidence, motivation, and self-esteem.
However, it doesn’t have to be this way.
Join us to hear from highly acclaimed author Anniki Sommerville, author of The Big Quit: How to ditch the job you hate and find work you love for an insightful, interactive conversation on how to reframe your relationship with work and achieve a better work-life balance.
In The Big Quit, Anniki shares how she went from feeling trapped in a toxic work culture that was making her miserable and anxious to creating a work-life balance that brings her happiness and satisfaction.
In this session we will cover topics including:
• How our relationship with work changes post kids
• The things we can do to redefine the way forward and embrace the next chapter
• Getting rid of the inner critic and boosting confidence
• Q&A session
You will leave the session with honest, practical, and real advice as well as tools and insights to apply to your own professional life.
