POSITIVELY EMPOWERING PARENTS + EMPLOYERS

Supporting parents in the workplace is our thing. If you’re a parent or an employer looking for support, you’re in the right place.

OUR MISSION

Making workplaces somewhere parents can thrive

Since 2018, Power of the Parent has positively challenged the experience of parents in the workplace because the truth is, parents return to work with many untapped skills and experiences, it’s time they’re put to great use.

Imagine workplaces where parents can love what they do without their identity and worth being measured by how many hours they’ve worked or how many kids they have.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Here to help businesses attract, retain and develop their utterly brilliant teams, while making workplaces somewhere parents can thrive.

Supporting parents in the workplace can feel like a huge task but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Combining fresh ideas with what’s already working well, that’s the sweet spot. It also makes cracking business sense. With an eye watering £30,000 being the average cost to recruit in the UK, there’s a lot to be said for retaining your valued talent.

Through strengths based coaching and workshops, we work with both parents, supporting them as they prepare for or return from parental leave, as well as conscious employers who want to nurture their teams.

Join our NEW! Employer Resource Hub

The one place for all the resources you need to navigate how to support parents in your workplace.

Becoming a parent in the workplace doesn’t start after parental leave and although the ‘return’ can get loads of focus, we know that the challenges and curveballs never stop – and neither does your ambition and development.
Of course things get re-defined, but that doesn’t mean you have to feel blocked or questioning what you’re brilliant at. We’ve got heaps of content for you to move through some of the biggest challenges you might be facing.

FREE EVENTS

A safe space for you to come and hear about fresh perspectives, practical tools to help yourself and ways to build your self-belief as a parent in the workplace.

Great to catch up with Char today, she gets it! Char has a natural flair for coaching, after a relaxed chat you realise you’ve shared your problems, found your own solutions and committed to take action. I’m a HR professional and a Mum of 2 facing a bit of a cross roads in my life. Char really helped me think clearly about what I really want to do next, what’s important to me career wise and personally and how I’m going to go after it whilst staying true to my values. She also shared some great sources of information to guide me along the way. I’m a strong believer that having children adds to your character, you develop a range of new skills and enhance existing ones – judgement, reasoning, empathy, delegating, time management to name a few personal to me. These skills make me better at my job. Thanks for reminding me of that Char!

Charlotte’s coaching has been invaluable for helping me prepare to return to work after maternity leave. It has improved my confidence for interviews for new job roles. Focusing on my strengths has highlighted to me why I enjoy particular job roles. Knowing my strengths and drainers will ensure I am happy and fulfilled at work now and in the future. It has given me a tool to discuss how I want me career to progress not just based on roles but on my strengths. Understanding my strengths has allowed me to select my future jobs role. The session notes taken by Charlotte have shown me how much I have learnt and will be a useful aid to refer back to. I am returning to work feeling confident in my choices thanks to my coaching with Charlotte.

When I started working with Char 3 months ago I was really struggling with my confidence. I was unhappy in my job but struggled to see how I could make the move to launching my own business. I knew I could do it but was struggling with lots of mindset blockers.
Char was incredibly intuitive and picked up on my negative self talk before I did. She gently encouraged and supported me by asking questions to make me think about things in a different way. Char’s caring manner and genuine enthusiasm gave me the confidence to make small steps and provided coping strategies so that when my perfectionism and imposter syndrome try to get the better of me, I am equipped to answer my negative self talk and make progress towards my goals. I feel like I have gained a personal cheerleader through working with Char, I can’t recommend her highly enough.
