Curriculum
Pre-leave planning
Through our coaching sessions and guided exercises via your Parentaly Dashboard, we help you create plans that will set you and your business up for success. And because there is no one busier than an expecting parent - we built this entire curriculum with speed and efficiency in mind. Use our templates, best practices and clear step by step guidance to get the work done via short self-guided planning sessions.
Plans you will create:

Coverage plan: How will your work be completed, and by whom? What training, documentation and goals do you need to create?

Communication and work tracking plan: How will the work being completed by others be tracked and/or communicated to you during your parental leave?

Re-onboarding plan: How will you successfully onboard back into what can feel like a totally new company when you return?
Return-to-work coaching
Re-engage with your Parentaly coach as you navigate the return-to-work experience after parental leave.
You'll meet with your Parentaly coach two times over the course of your first three months back at work. These sessions will cover the most important topics related to returning to work and career advancement, and allow you to discuss roadblocks, tips and tricks.
Modules and topics include:

Career: Focus on your most critical priorities at work via vision exercises, Listening Tour and work planning

Productivity: Leverage routines, tools and mindsets that allow you to work smarter, not harder

Relationships: Build strong relationships at work and externally across all levels

Home life: Childcare, household responsibilities, relationships and personal priorities
This is a unique opportunity for transformational professional and personal growth.
Up-level your team,
engage in powerful professional development, and accelerate your career as a new parent.

FAQ
Is this a lot of work? I'm really busy!
All coaching sessions and content progression is on your timeline; you control the scheduling and the rhythm for how you best return to work.
This program asks you to carve out about 30-60 minutes per week to complete a coverage plan before leave, and then a few hours of coaching upon return. Because we hand you everything you need (including templates for your plans) we will save you 15+ hours.
What happens in a coaching session?
The Parentaly career coach will facilitate custom sessions based your specific needs, while integrating the Parentaly materials and frameworks to ensure optimal support. These sessions typically involve sharing personal experiences and challenges, receiving feedback from the coach, and more directive tactical recommendations and support.
What exactly is a career coach?
A career coach is a professional who focuses on asking questions, drawing conclusions out of your statements, and guiding you toward concrete and practical actions to achieve your goals. Think of them as expert accountability partners who have worked with hundreds of similar individuals to map out clear plans of action!
Is this just for (pregnant) women?
No! We welcome any expecting employee, including non-birthing parents. That said, we find this program has the highest ROI for anyone planning to take 8+ consecutive weeks of leave.
What is the ideal timing for this program?
We recommend you start this program about three months before you plan to go on leave.
This gives you enough time to create a strong coverage plan, with enough visibility into the future.
What is Parentaly?
We combine our expert career coaching and parental leave content to improve the entire experience of parental leave. Our main goal is to improve retention of parents by facilitating a smoother re-entry process and supporting their preferred career trajectory.
