Description
The one thing that holds women back from leading in society is Mother's guilt. Beyond its biological link to the survival of the baby, the guilt is not just motherly love, it is really our inner Judge telling us that we are bad mother and that we are not deserving of the love of this beautiful child unless we earn that love.
Well, that is not true and you will learn how to intercept that inner Judge of guilt and regain self-command of your thoughts.
It might seem counterintuitive but parenthood is the best baptism in leadership, the best job you can consider after maternity leave is that of people manager. Unfortunately, a lot of women think they should take a step back
If you are an ambitious young woman who wants both career success and a family where she doesn't need to outsource the role of mother, you are in the right place. If you are a working parent, who is so busy with being a good parent or a good employee that she forgot about being good to herself, you are in the right place
• If You sometimes tell yourself
• ‘I ‘ I want a family but what will happen to my career…’
• ‘can I really have it all?’
• You sometimes feel frustrated trying to balance your dreams with others expectations.
You certainly are at the right place.
Who this course is for:
- young women who aspire to both a successful career and motherhood; Middle managers who are mothers and are looking for a better balance; successful career women who can't enjoy their career and financial success fully due to mother's guilt
