Podcasts about parental leave leadership

Marny Requa explains that life transitions such as becoming a parent and menopause are not just short-term changes and then everything returns to "normal." They are major life transitions that deserve to be acknowledged, honored, and planned for. However, as Marny explains, we are not doing these things well on institutional, cultural, nor societal levels. She tells her own story about how she internalized these larger societal notions as a professor transitioning into parenthood, the challenges it presented, and the importance of giving ourselves grace. Marny also shows the huge positive impact available to our society if we shift our thinking and see life transitions for what they are (see the resources she mentions below).

Your life including your responsibilities and daily routine changes the moment you become a parent. It's not an easy task to take care of a child, as it comes with sleepless nights and requires a significant amount of energy, emotional commitment, and a great deal of patience. The adjustment to parenthood can be challenging, especially during the first year.  During that time, many parents need support from their family, friends, and most importantly, their employers. The transition to being a working parent is challenging to navigate, and it is so important to have support from your company or organization. Despite the well-known benefits associated with parental leave for both employees and employers, many organizations have not yet adopted parental leave policies. Parental leave contributes to the healthy development of children,  improves the health of mothers, and increases the economic security of families. . This benefit allows parents to return to their organization with their most productive selves, which in turn increases overall participation in the workforce. In this episode, we are joined by Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell from the Center for Parental Leave Leadership (CPLL), the first consultancy in the United States that primarily focuses on parental leave. Dr. Amy Beacom is the Founder and CEO of the Center and is the United States' premier expert on the personal and professional interplay around parental leave for employers and employees. Sue Campbell is the Communications Director for the Center and is a writer, author, and coach. Her work is often focused on issues important to parents.Dr. Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell authored a book called The Parental Leave Playbook: Ten Touchpoints to Transition Smoothly, Strengthen your Family, and Continue Growing your Career that aims to “help parents take control of their leave and make the most of what's considered a career time-out, but is actually a vital “time-in” for your life."Listen to our conversation as Amy and Sue share with us their practical tips and advice about creating the best possible parental leave experience within a broken system. Their guidance is based on Amy's doctoral research and their collective work with Fortune 100 companies to improve parental leave policies and programs.Listen to Episode 704 to learn more!Thriving Points:The mission is to really make sure that everyone in this country, regardless of their role or their level of job has a paid and supported parental leave process. - Amy BeacomIf we can nurture and support parents through this process, they just become these rock stars on the other side of it.  If we can sell them on that message, train the managers on how to support the parents. This is just going to go so far into improving parental leave culture and the country as a whole. - Sue CampbellAbout the Show:     Women Thriving in Business features candid unscripted conversations with entrepreneurs, business experts, authors, and academics aimed at contributing to business success.

Here on the show, we talk a lot about how tough it is to raise kids, but if we're being honest, sometimes it feels like the world is stacked against us from the moment we get that positive sign on a pregnancy test. Nearly all the women in my close circle of friends work full time and I would be lying if I told you that the thrill of their pregnancy news was met by an honest bit of fear. That seems normal right, who wouldn't be worried about becoming a mother? But parenthood wasn't the only thing eating them. It was actually how they would tell their employers the news and how a pregnancy, or several, would affect their careers. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act passed in 1978 technically protects a person's workplace rights, which means that women can't be discriminated against for being pregnant. But it happens every day. In fact, statistics show that in the last 10 years, more than 50,000 pregnancy discrimination claims were filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Fair Employment Practices Agencies. That's nearly 14 women per day, every day who come forward. And that's just the start. Once a woman gets through the stress of “breaking the news” of a pregnancy to her powers that be, she then has to start a conversation about maternity leave. With no federal paid parental leave program available in the United States, these are very murky waters. Some companies have policies in place, some states even offer a level of job security, but rarely here in the U.S. can women access a program that allows them to feel financially secure enough to enjoy their first few months as a mother. So what gives? Let's find out.My guest today is Amy Beacom, a mom of two and the Founder and CEO of the Center for Parental Leave Leadership, the first consultancy in the US to focus exclusively on parental leave. Amy is recognized as the premiere expert on the personal and professional interplay around parental leave for employers and employees.

Dr Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell wrote the Parental Leave Playbook and provide support through the Center for Parental Leave Leadership. Maternity leave has such an important connection to burnout because it creates a trajectory for moms returning to work depending on how long and how much support they have had during leave. Moms can also be going into maternity leave with high levels of stress, or can be returning to stressful situations with very little support for that transition. Download your free burnout guide on my website www.DrJacquelineKerr.com.

For so many years, women are forced to choose between balancing the physical and emotional needs of being a new mother and the financial needs of returning to work.  It's 2022. This needs to change.  It's time to prioritize parental leave by having better systems in place to help new parents transition smoothly, strengthen their families, and continue to build better careers.  All these are at the core of the new book, The Parental Leave Playbook: 10 Touchpoints to Transition Smoothly, Strengthen Your Family, and Continue Building Your Career.  Our guests for this episode are authors Dr. Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell of the Center for Parental Leave Leadership.  In today's conversation, we will cover important topics like: The Parental Leave Playbook The 3-phase transition of parental leave How the Center for Parental Leave Leadership helps families during and beyond the pandemic Unpacking the holistic approach of the RETAIN Parental Leave Coaching What you should consider when announcing your pregnancy Why employers are making a big mistake letting go of parent employees Is there a conflict between (making a) profit and doing the right thing?

In this episode of Becoming Moms, Dr. Sterling sits down with authors, Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell, to discuss their book - The Parental Leave Playbook. Their unique, evidence-based approach to the parental leave transition helps new parents navigate leave and return, like pro's. They cover everything from when to start planning for your leave (it's sooner than you might think!) to dealing with an employer that just doesn't "get it". Whether you are currently pregnant and preparing for your leave or navigating the transition from a "working person" to a "working parent" this conversation is a must listen! "The Parental Leave Playbook helps parents take control of their leave and make the most of what's considered a career time-out, but is actually a vital “time-in” for your life. If you're an expecting or new parent concerned about how your leave and return plans will affect your visibility, candidacy for promotion, work relationships, and performance (not to mention your identity and home life), this book will guide you into the smoothest transition possible. Most importantly, this book will help you as you grow and strengthen yourself and your family while remaining a professional." - Center for Parental Leave Leadership Resources: https://cplleadership.com/book/ (The Parental Leave Playbook - Center for Parental Leave Leadership (cplleadership.com)) https://sterlingparents.com/ (Sterling Parents Membership) https://thebestpregnancyclass.com/ (The Best FREE Pregnancy Class) https://www.thesterlinglife.com/pregnancyselfcare (Selfcare Rituals for Pregnancy Guide) Host: Dr. Christine Sterling, Board Certified ObGyn & Founder of Sterling Parents Membership Music: Good For You by THBDhttps://soundcloud.com/thbdsultan ( https://soundcloud.com/thbdsultan) Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream:http://bit.ly/2PgU6Mu ( http://bit.ly/2PgU6Mu) Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/-K_YSjqKgvQ ( https://youtu.be/-K_YSjqKgvQ)

Dr. Amy Beacom is the founder and CEO of the Center for Parental Leave Leadership, the first consultancy in the US to focus exclusively on parental leave, and the author of The Parental Leave Playbook: Ten Touchpoints to Transition Smoothly, Strengthen Your Family, and Continue Growing Your Career. She is recognized as the United States' premiere expert on the personal and professional interplay around parental leave for employers and employees. Amy created the first evidence-based parental leave transition coaching model. She has trained and supervised parental leave coaches both in the US and Australia and the manager-focused training program she created can be found in over 80 countries around the world.In this episode, Stew talks with Amy about her evidence-based model for how to manage parental leave, as a working parent and as a manager or co-worker. They talk through the three phases of preparing for leave (which is mostly about work), during leave (about parenting), and returning (about being a working parent). Amy describes the crucial touch points in each of these phases and offers practical advice for anyone experiencing the joys and trials of taking time from work to care for children and for all those who support working parents. Here then is an invitation for you, a challenge, after you've had a chance to listen to this episode, if you're a manager of someone approaching parental leave or a person about to take one yourself: What's your vision of how you want things to be upon return?

It's an open secret that many organizations' parental leave policies in the U.S. are subpar—if they exist at all. And if you ask someone why grappling with parental leave is so fraught, you're bound to get a firehose of frustrating answers. That's because most organizations approach parental leave as a benefit that costs the company itself rather than as a strategic opportunity for greater learning and development. Enter Dr. Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell from the Center for Parental Leave Leadership and co-authors of the book The Parental Leave Playbook. They believe the parental leave transition is the most overlooked opportunity for professional growth—and they teach organizations how to tap into its potential. What does good parental leave practice look like? How can those transitions improve team communication and trust? And how can healthier parental leave practices make way for more inclusive definitions of leave? We dig into all of it in this episode.

If there was one area that I could go back and time in and change in my life, it would be preparing for maternity leave when I had my first son. As a recent grad with student loans and no savings, taking 3-month maternity leave wasn't something that I could afford. Unfortunately, the United States did not have a federal paid maternity leave like other countries like Estonia, Portugal, and New Zealand. As a new mom I wanted to be home with my baby, but the reality was I had to go back to work to make sure that my baby was provided for. The sad part is many moms experience this. I was able to take 6-week maternity leave, but I have heard of moms going back to work as soon as 2 weeks after having a baby.Instead of wishing that I could go back and change those days, I want other expecting moms to know that you plan and prepare your ideal maternity leave. You don't have to rush back to work because you have to. In today's episode, my guest Sue and Amy are going to help us learn how we can do just that. In this episode, Sue and Amy share:What parental leave looks like in this country todayWhere moms-to-be need to start to negotiate this major life and career transitionThe top three things expecting parents taking parental leave should do to protect their current and future careerThings that parents should keep in mind after parental leaveIf you are an expecting mom, dad, or know some that are, this episode is definitely for you.

You'll hear me say it time and time again: paid parental leave is essential. But even though paid leave is important, it is not the only aspect of support that should be looked at for parents post partum. On this week's episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Amy Beacom (founder and CEO of Center for Parental Leave Leadership) and Sue Campbell (Communications Director for the Center for Parental Leave Leadership) who have coauthored a book called The Parental Leave Playbook: 10 Touchpoints to Transition Smoothly, Strengthen Your Family, and Continue Building your Career.  This book, the only of its kind, is a great resource for anyone who plans to take leave from their job to have a child whether it be your first or your fifth child. Join us as we talk about parental leave in the U.S., our own parental leave experiences, and how the Center for Parental Leave Leadership strives to coach employers on how to better support its working parents.ReferencesCenter for Parental Leave Leadership website: https://cplleadership.com/The Parental Leave Playbook: Click hereBook Description: The Parental Leave Playbook helps parents take control of their leave and make the most of what's considered a career time-out, but is actually a vital “time-in” for your work and life.
