In this panel event, a panel of Leaders Plus Alumni will share their top tips for managing parental guilt as ambitious working parents.

Do you feel constantly torn between committing to work and being present as a parent?

Are you worrying about how parental guilt is affecting your career?

Does it all seem like an insurmountable puzzle?

We are here to help!

During this panel event you will hear from working parents who have navigated the challenge of overcoming and managing parental guilt whilst working in senior roles. They will share their honest reflections on what worked (and what didn’t), you will take home some practical tips and also be comforted by the knowledge that you are not alone and it is possible to make a senior career work alongside being a parent.

In this one hour event, a panel of successful working parents will share what works for them and what they have learnt along the way to help them manage feelings of parental guilt.
