Testimonials
"Just wanted to share my feedback following the seminar yesterday.
Even though I have been on maternity leave once before, I found it really helpful and will definitely do things differently this time around based on what I learned in the seminar.
I expected a room full of people with presenters up the front but there were just 6 of us sitting around in a circle with 2 facilitators. I think I got a lot more out the session in this format as we were able to interact as a group and ask questions.
The facilitators were great – they both speak from experience (personally and professionally) and it was helpful to be able to have a mini coaching group session with one of them at the end of the morning.
It was also great to be able to walk away with a toolkit booklet that I can use for this next session of maternity leave.
Attending a session a few months prior to maternity leave would be the most valuable time for someone to go, but I could also see benefit in going fairly soon after returning to work (or a few months prior while still on maternity leave) in order to help with the transition."

"Thank you for the awesome program. It helped me realize other mums have the same challenges, helped me lift the constraints I have been placing on myself & gave me tools to make it happen such as using positive language when negotiating flexibility, getting mentors, taking action and networking. Thanks for the kick start"
Kristie Holmes | Human Resources | Westpac/BT
“Thanks for the Career after Kids Seminar. It was a fantastic day, the presenters were so professional, yet dwn to earth and I really felt I could open up about some of the issues I was facing. It was great to leave knowing that I can have greater confidence in my ability as a mum and a professional to get things working really well and that I can go after what I really want.”
Megan Fox | NSW Team Co-ordinator | PeopleBank
“The seminar was really interesting and very helpful, so thank you. The interview went really well ( even used a few tips from the seminar) and I got the job. No start date as yet but they have agreed to my requested hours! So again thank you, I would not have been so confident asking for them without the seminar.”
