No, Helen Fraser of training company Leaders Plus is perfectly sane. Again and again, she has witnessed busy parents who are also busy professionals boost their careers while simultaneously improving their homelife. There is a method and yes, it involves taking some time to acquire, but in this interview, Helen argues convincingly that the time invested pays back dividends! As a multi-award winning social enterprise, Leaders Plus is having a real impact on the realities of working life for mothers and fathers, and through that work with individuals, they’re already making a difference in the fight for genuine equality in the workplace. Listen to Helen Fraser share some success stories.
You’re busy at work, aiming for a promotion; home life is full on, with young kids and a partner as busy as you are, and yet someone suggests you follow a training course on top of all the rest! They must be crazy!
