Parental Transitions Coaching

Supporting professionals in their Parental Transitions and in managing their family life while excelling in their career.

I work with parents who want more from their careers and need to find practical ways of managing their busy family lives and their work. I create a safe space for parents to hear themselves and focus on what’s important.

I help to identify what matters, concentrate on key objectives, and set boundaries to help my clients manage their time and energy. I also encourage my clients to review and plan their family’s financial health and future.

Parental Transitions Coaching includes Maternity Returners Coaching. I use the term Parental Transitions Coaching to take into consideration all parental stages and roles.

Organisations are increasingly recognising the importance of caring for employees in this context. I offer coaching packages for companies for their employee benefit programs. Get in touch to find out more,

Mums

I support female professionals at different stages of their motherhood. Starting with help in adjusting to new life roles, exploring what motherhood means to them, how they can recharge their energy, while also designing career goals in line with their values, strengths & ambitions.

Dads

I help dads decide how to juggle to role of a dad & a professional. With the coaching approach we can explore what is important, what resources they have available to them, and how this life transition could be optimised for the benefit of all.

Company

I can help raise awareness in companies about the impact of maternity and paternity leave on employees, share best practices to avoid burnout among parents and around retraining talent. I can also provide managers with a toolkit to handle these situations.

The outcomes of Parental Transitions coaching for my clients include:

  • ensuring a smooth return to work and better management of workload and expectations
  • reshaping family and work dynamics to ensure sufficient time for themselves
  • clarifying their career ambitions and career plans
  • negotiating new working arrangements including flexibility, promotions and pay rises
  • developing resilience and reducing stress in their daily lives
  • changing jobs/employers to align their work with their values and their family needs
  • retraining and starting a new career
  • opening their own businesses
  • planning their retirement – even if that’s in 30 years time
  • increasing happiness and life satisfaction

What do my clients say?

I’ve noticed incresed clarity in my thinking after each coaching session. It was a challenge for me to find a balance between me as “a mum” and me as “a professional” but thanks to that safe space I had a chance to reflect and explore what’s important to me and act on it. I would recommend Parental Transition coaching to all new parents. Game changer. Less guilt, more joy and focus.

From our very first session, Ewa was warm and welcoming, creating a safe space for me to share my concerns and fears. She listened attentively and asked insightful questions that helped me identify my strengths and skills. Ewa helped me to see that being a mother and a professional were not mutually exclusive, and that I had valuable skills and experiences to bring to the table.
Ewa provided me with practical tools and strategies to help me manage my time more effectively and prioritize my tasks. She also helped me to develop a self-care routine that allowed me to take care of myself as well as my family and work commitments.
Ewa’s guidance and support were instrumental in empowering me to return to my professional life with renewed confidence and self-assurance. I felt empowered not only as a mother and a professional but most importantly as a woman. Ewa helped me to see that my experiences as a mother had given me a unique perspective and set of skills that I could use to my advantage in my professional life.
Overall, my experience with Ewa as a maternity coach was incredibly positive, and I would highly recommend her to any new mother looking to navigate the transition back to their professional life. Ewa is a kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable coach who truly cares about helping her clients reach their full potential.
