Maternity & Work: A Guide for You, Your Support System & Your Manager (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781105997969)

Becoming a mother is one of life's most profound transitions - and for women in the corporate world, it comes with an added layer of complexity. This practical and honest guide is a trusted companion for navigating maternity in today's workplace. Whether you're preparing for leave, returning to work, or redefining your professional identity, this book offers clarity on decisions, conversations, deliverables, and unconscious biases. It equips you with tools to manage the internal tug-of-war between who you are, who you're becoming, and the responsibility of nurturing a new life. Drawing from the author's lived experience as an African woman with global corporate exposure - and her work with women across different cultures - this guide speaks directly to modern working mothers and those who support them. Beyond the mother, this book invites managers, partners, and workplace allies to play their roles with intention. At the end of each chapter, thoughtful journal prompts encourage personal reflection and planning. Whether you're expecting a baby or supporting someone who is, Maternity & Work helps you design your unique approach, weigh both cost and reward, and step into motherhood and leadership with confidence.
