Episode #250 // One of the most intractable issues affecting gender equity in the workplace is maternity leave. Companies and countries are trying to find ways to make it easier for women to have families, without significant disruption to their careers.
Our CEO, Emma Green recently became a mother. She’s just flown half way around the world, by herself with 9-month-old Florence to attend a Mastermind of elite business owners who’ve built huge companies, while balancing the demands of motherhood and family.
As a leader, you will have to face the challenges of maternity leave at some point—if not for yourself, then certainly for others.
And if you’re a current or future mother, you’ll be thinking quite a bit about balancing the needs of family, while still maintaining your performance as a leader, and without having to sacrifice promotions, pay rises, and career opportunities!
In this episode, we flip the script, as I interview Em about how the experience of balancing motherhood, and running a fast-growth business has been for her so far.
