"The week-by-week guidance and planning templates helped me stay organized and prepare my team, but the most meaningful part of the program was the community. Parentaly connected me with an invaluable community of new parents and provided a safe, coach-led environment where we could share our questions, concerns, problems, and strategies. This program is the perfect combination of professional and personal, and I feel confident in navigating the logistical and emotional journey of balancing my career while becoming a new parent."

Curriculum

Pre-leave planning

 

 

Through our coaching sessions, 1:1 consultation 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.

FAQ

What is the cost?


This program is fully paid for by your employer. This program is a benefit that companies offer to ensure their employees have a positive parental leave experience.

 

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 around 30 weeks pregnant. We will put you in a cohort that is timed appropriately to your expected parental leave start date.

What happens in a coaching session?

 

The Parentaly career coach will facilitate custom sessions based on specific needs and feedback from each participant, while integrating the Parentaly materials and frameworks to ensure optimal support. These sessions typically involve sharing personal experiences and challenges, receiving feedback from other participants and 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. In a group coaching setting, their role is to moderate an impactful and productive conversation to address the stated objectives. Think of them as expert accountability partners who have worked with hundreds of similar individuals to map out clear plans of action!

      

   

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.

         

   

"I would not be at all prepared if it weren't for Parentaly.  Instead, not only am I feeling confident that nothing will fall apart while I'm gone, I'm also actually really looking forward to using this moment to ensure that when I return I am better able to align my tasks and responsibilities toward my career goals.  I can't thank you enough."
