Turning parental leave into an opportunity
"My experience with Parentaly has been fantastic. It made me feel supported on a personal and professional level. Discussions with my Parentaly coach allowed me to proactively work through my pre-leave plan and voice my feelings about becoming a new parent. Frameworks in the Parentaly toolkit also made it easy to organize my thoughts and learn best practices when preparing for parental leave."
Director, Consulting
"I feel much more confident about going out on leave, but most importantly, I feel more confident about coming BACK from leave. In fact, I'm excited to come back knowing that I've outlined a framework for success in my role. I'm so grateful to my company for investing in a program that contributes to my peace of mind."
Senior Account Executive
"This program was extremely useful to have a coach help guide and talk me through the process of going on leave. This is the first time I've taken a leave longer than 2 weeks in my career, so there was a lot of nuance that I hadn't thought of until I started working with my Parentaly coach. Through our conversations and the materials provided, I feel like I'm very well positioned for a successful leave and return."
