The Power of Parenthood: Reshaping Modern Workplaces
It's often said that 'it takes a village' to raise children. From family, friends, and colleagues... the right support systems can help parents balance the many plates and do it all - from managing their kids to their careers.
In celebration of Mother's Day, Forever Projects have curated a unique panel, bringing together three pairs of remarkable professionals. We'll explore the incredible challenges working mothers face today, surfacing the tension at the heart of this statement and question:
I am a better mum when I'm working!
Am I a better mum when I'm working?
From couples to colleagues, these dynamic duos will share their experiences, and how their supportive partnership creates the conditions to excel in their careers while being present parents.
