Expert coaching that empowers leaders to enable the long-term success of parents and carers.
Leaders and managers are the linchpin of a great work experience. They have a huge impact on our engagement, development and progression, especially in times of change.
They’re also navigating an increasingly complex range of workplace issues, responsibilities and social norms. No matter what the industry. For modern leaders, striking the right balance between organisational, team and individual needs is no easy feat.
When managing parents and carers, practicing the fundamentals makes all the difference—letting go of assumptions, challenging beliefs, identifying possibilities, and doubling-down on communication.
How Do You Do It helps your leaders be more confident and consistent in the way they lead their working parents and carers, creating greater clarity and better outcomes for everyone.
Real Conversations, Real Outcomes
We work with your leaders to fine tune their understanding of the challenges working parents and carers commonly face, recognising these will be different for different people. We then facilitate an open exchange of strategies to enable the immediate and long-term success of team members, explore how assumptions and biases can get in the way, and reinforce the ongoing importance of regular, two-way communication.
How Do You Do It’s proven approach focuses on both the ‘what’ and the ‘how’, allowing your leaders to walk away with practical insights and actions, no matter what life stage their people are in.
Importantly, we facilitate our coaching within the context of any leadership initiative or programme you may already have in place. We want to reinforce the great work you’re already doing. By making sure our content and messages fit together seamlessly, we amplify learning, strengthen leadership behaviours, and create shared calls to action, especially around communication and consistency.
