Parenthood is one of the biggest life changes most professionals will ever go through, yet we rarely talk about what it actually does to us at work.
Alongside the joy, chaos and pride of raising children, many parents quietly experience shifts in confidence, career identity, social connection and their sense of belonging at work.
This session brings working parents together to have an honest conversation about those changes. From moments of loneliness and loss of identity, to redefining ambition and rebuilding community, we will explore the very human side of balancing career and parenthood.
Expect a relaxed, open discussion that reflects the real experiences of modern working parents. We will share perspectives, stories and practical ideas around how individuals, leaders and organisations can better support parents, both professionally and personally.
