Baby Proof Your Career: The Secret To Balancing Work and Family So You Can Enjoy It All

A practical career planning book for professional women who want children. Prepare now, thrive later without choosing between ambition and family.

When I was a high flying finance lawyer in the City of London, I thought having it all was a pipedream.

I didn’t realise it at the time, but this negative thinking about what it means to be a lawyer and how much control you have over your life, was the very thing that made me destined to fail.

It was only after I walked away from a legal career when my second son was born that I realised my mistake:

I’d been powerful all along. I just didn’t know it.

Babyproof Your Career is the book I wish I’d read before I started a family, and the one I still refer back to as an ambitious working mother of 4 boys.

How will you keep your career on track?

If you are a career woman and know you want a family in the future, a regular career plan just won’t cut it.

What you need is a long-term career strategy that targets the emotional and practical challenges you’ll face when the time comes to balance a family and a career.

Babyproof Your Career gives you that strategy and shows you why the time to implement that strategy is now.

Practical tips, savvy advice

Drawing on my past experience of a high flying career that derailed when I started a family, and interviews conducted with successful working mothers, Babyproof Your Career gives you practical tips and savvy advice that will prepare you for the day you want to enjoy it all.

When you read this book you’ll learn how to:

Take control of your career and improve your work life balance

Overcome the Five Pitfalls of Working Motherhood

Be more assertive, resilient and get the right people on your side

Improve your motivation, your confidence and take better care of yourself
