Maternity Magic
One of our coaching specialty offerings
You are Possible offers a proven “Maternity Magic” Executive Advisory program that focuses on this critical life-stage of many women’s development because:
- It’s a crescendo of work-life balance stressors
- Most employers offer generous “leave” but little guidance
- Most employers don’t offer much advice, and when they do:
- they are, by definition, biased
- and very few have the expertise (or capacity)
Our programs help optimize ramp up/down and off-time, increasing productivity, satisfaction, connectivity, and retention.
HOW IT WORKS
“Executive Advisory”
Expands beyond traditional “coaching” to include two critical organization-specific elements:
- Environment: Understanding the organization, role, and “water in which we swim”
- Action: Practical strategies and tactics for “what to do tomorrow
Delivering quality impact fast demands “coaching” support that is not context-agnostic
A typical Maternity Magic Zoom discussion flow (10 sessions):
1. Pre-maternity leave (~4 sessions)
- Understanding the context
- Exploring YOU and your possibilities
- Defining purpose, goals and priorities
- Taking pre-emptive and in-leave actions
2. During maternity leave (~2 sessions)
- Mid-point check-in
- Re-entry plan confirmation
3. Upon re-entry (~4 sessions)
- Sounding board, looking in the mirror, addressing challenges & opportunities, etc.
“Off-zoom” behind the scenes support
- Incoming assessments (e.g., Essential Positive Quality, Levels of Adult Development, Current and Deeper Narratives)
- Distillations from existing client and 360-feedback
- Enneagram assessment (behavioral whys)
- Personal Maternity Development Plan
and as-needed incoming calls “24/7”
