Rachel Egan is truly a confidant and ally you want to have in your corner. Her sensible advice about life, work, and marriage helped me to feel confident and peaceful as a new mother preparing to return to work. Her program has practical recommendations and easy to implement strategies that truly helped me create a vision and plan for my new life as a working mother and wife.

Develop systems to manage the multiple roles of your life.

All change affects your equilibrium - even a wonderful change like having a baby. It raises fears because you do not know what will happen. Plus, if you simply layer your life as a mother on top of your professional life, you are destined to feel enormous, never-ending pressure.
Thankfully, you do not have to do this alone. Through The New Parent Transition Program, you will work one-on-one with a Maternity Transitionsฎ Coach and learn how to weave your personal and professional roles into a wonderful rich tapestry by nurturing and honoring the powerful elements of both. Success is inevitable when your life is balanced and you are fulfilled.
Through discussions, self-awareness strategies, cutting-edge organizational tools, and crafting a family/life plan, you will learn how to structure your life to best harmonize the particular dynamics of your family and work-life.
Part One: Life with Baby
Without the built-in structure, camaraderie and discipline of your workplace, you may feel isolated and lonely. There will be times when you find yourself wondering if this is way more than you can handle. You will gain an objective, impartial ear to sound out all your hopes, fears and concerns. Plus, we will explore all aspects of the life you desire through personal development exercises.
Part Two: Planning and Preparing your Return to Work
Happiness, balance and a fulfilling life do not just happen; it takes planning. Plans work! You will learn how to assess the new realities of your life and determine the best way to organize it. You will discover how to embrace change and become more flexible in your thinking. We will devise strategies to streamline and integrate your personal and professional responsibilities, as well as, develop an action plan.
Part Three: Transitioning Back to Work
You are deprived of sleep, worried about leaving your baby, and people at work expect you to be the same person you were before this life-changing experience. Coaching support during this time will ease your transition back to work. You will be able to let off steam in a safe, supportive and confidential environment. Also, using concrete examples from your personal and professional life, you will master the choices of: must-do, let-it-go, delegate. This will be vital when we evaluate the effectiveness of the systems you have in place.
All sessions are on the phone at a mutually convenient pre-set time. E-mail support is available between phone calls. To learn more about the New Parent Transition Program, please email: Rachel@rachelegan.com
