How I help

Couples?

 

Do you have a -plan so you both can

thrive

at work and home?

You have both worked hard to progress your careers and you have both become parents,  

As a dual-career family with interdependent careers the question shifts from ‘Is this the right career decision for me?’ to ‘Is this the right career decision for us?’

Often the realities of the work-life-parent juggle creep up slowly and then advance quickly for you both when parental leave comes to an end and you are both working and juggling family.

How will you support each other to be successful in your careers and be the parents you want to be?

So that’s why I offer coaching together – careers are intertwined and its easy to make decisions that seem right for now but without looking at the longer-term implications.  The focus of my Co-Create programme is on each of you individually and as a couple, to reflect on how becoming a parent has changed you, your values and your goals, the tricky questions like who’s career takes priority, how will we parent, who does what at home whilst also making a Plan A and Plan B for the nitty gritty of balancing your careers and your family. 

There isn’t one right way; I offer models and a process so you can be confident you are on the same page and have a plan for your family’s happiness and success.

 “Charlotte’s course was just what we needed to make our family feel confident that we had the structures in place for my return to work (with plenty of flexibility built in!). She gave us the tools to have the conversations that will not only have an impact on our immediate day-to-day, but also how we think together about our long-term dreams. We now have tools we can return to in the future, as and when our children/work/lives change. I really believe in her mantra that we need to make decisions rather than slide into situations.”

the question is now

is this the right decision for us?

    How will we deal with the unexpected?

    What does our future look like and what's our plan to get there?

    What is our plan A and plan B if the nursery calls?

    How can we both be successful in our jobs?

 “The course generated many discussions and ideas that we have subsequently used in planning how we handle our days/weeks in the short term, and also prompted us to think more holistically around what our priorities are for the long term (something that we hadn't really written down on paper before, and which threw up a few surprises!).”

how we will

work together

There are two options for the Co-Create programme - a fortnightly Online call with other couples facing similar dilemmas or a private session (online or in person) just you, your partner and me so we can really focus on your personal career and life situation.
