Returning to work after maternity leave or a career break

Returning to work after a career break can be daunting, whether you've been on maternity leave or taken time off for other reasons. You may be worried about how you'll adapt to the changes in the workplace or if you're still up to speed with the latest industry developments. This is where coaching can be a great asset in helping you get back on track and achieve your professional goals. Here are some of the benefits of coaching for people returning to work after a career break:

1. Clarifying your goals and priorities

After a career break, it's important to take stock of your priorities and goals. A coach can help you clarify what you want to achieve in your career and create a roadmap to get there. This includes identifying your strengths and skills, as well as any areas that need development. By setting clear goals, you'll have a better idea of what you need to do to achieve success.

2. Building confidence

Returning to work after a career break can be a confidence-shaking experience. A coach can help you build your confidence and self-belief, which is essential for achieving your goals. They can help you identify and work through any limiting beliefs or fears that may be holding you back, and develop strategies for dealing with them.

3. Identifying and overcoming challenges

Returning to work after a career break can come with many challenges, such as feeling out of touch with your industry or having a gap in your work history. A coach can help you identify these challenges and work through them, by developing strategies to update your skills, build your network, or address any gaps in your experience. This can help you feel more confident and prepared for the job market.

4. Providing support and accountability

Returning to work after a career break can be a lonely experience, but coaching can provide the support and accountability you need to stay motivated and on track. A coach can help you stay focused on your goals, provide regular check-ins, and hold you accountable for the actions you need to take to achieve success. This can help you stay motivated and overcome any obstacles that come your way.
