How parents can take imperfect action to make progress in their career

[ONLINE WORKSHOP] Sign up to learn four steps for parents who want to pursue their professional growth and goals while caring for their young kids

RESULTS OF THIS WORK TO DATE:

Join me for this on demand workshop to explore why doing unconventional things as a parent in business settings, can get you different results like:

✅ Acceptance into business programs, speaking engagements, mentorship
✅ 1:1 client enquiries, funding grants, sponsorship requests, PR
✅ Project work as a freelancer and even a hybrid work contract after attending a job interview with my toddler

Unlike some online trainings, in a little under an hour you’ll leave feeling like you have practical actions you can take based on your personal, professional and family’s needs.

WHAT YOU WILL GET:

👀 Details of the four steps I’ve practiced, tested and used to get these results since 2016 (with all three of our kids)
🎢 What can go wrong AND what can go right (nearly nine years = many stories)
✨ Creating an impact for yourself and others (you’re more powerful than you may realize!)

A message from me (Amy):

I believe everyone deserves to design a life that works for them and their family.
I’m a mum of three Irish-Canadian kids and started working remotely in 2014 to have more location freedom. I’ve worked in contract, flexible and remote roles spanning the business, technology, education, arts and creative industries, as both an employee and a freelance contractor.

When I became a parent in 2016, I began bringing my children into business settings and after getting frustrated by a lack of inclusive corporate spaces and programming for primary caregivers, started producing parent-friendly professional development events, digital resources and news.
