Left a career to raise children and got the itch to go back to work? Determining if you are ready to re-enter the workforce can be difficult. You need to find a new career, make sure your skills are current and adjust your life to a big change. One important, but often underestimated, thing you need to prepare is your mindset. A lot of mothers suffer low confidence as they head back to the office.

Getting into a positive mindset about yourself and about returning to work is crucial to achieve your career goal. In this workshop, we will focus on how to embrace the career gap left in your resume and recognize what you are taking back to work with you. You will find the many ways in which motherhood has taught you to become a stronger person.
