About this group
Do you still think that there's only one way to work—in the traditional, more than full-time, tied-to-your-desk corporate job? Are you at a breaking point trying to manage work and life...just about ready to throw in the towel and head home to care for children and/or aging parents? Or have you already left...and you'd like to get back in...but you don't want to return the relentless corporate grind you chose to leave behind?
This group helps women ask for or find professional, lucrative, flexible work in every industry and at companies of all shapes and sizes. You'll learn why there has never been a better time for women to blend work and family. And you'll get the facts on six different kinds of fully resume-worthy flexwork—in addition to starting an entrepreneurial venture of your own.
This group is also a place where women can make a no-apologies break from the power sisterhood and pressure for every woman to "get to the top". Yes, I do think more women should be in the C-Suite, and a woman should be in the Oval Office, too. But, I'm one of few acknowledging that these aspirations are not one-size-fits-all. If you can't have a laser focus on work, work, work—and you're worried about a child's homework issues, getting a kid into college or finding eldercare for an aging parent—you can still find ways to lean "in-between", continually developing a portfolio of skills and expertise without taking on a huge role.
In this no-judgment space, we'll encourage everyone to develop their own brand of ambition and success and talk about how you can be a leader at every level. We'll take the emphasis away from simply attaining power...and think more pragmatically about the many ways to cultivate long-term financial security for yourself and your family.
Members have the opportunity to use this group as an informal "book club" as well—where you can discuss and ask questions about my book, "Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn't Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead".
I look forward to helping you find the work that fits your life!
Group rules
Be kind, courteous and open-minded. Remember that if you don't see a lot of flexible work at your company or in your department it does not mean it's not out there and becoming so much easier to get or find with the right strategy and approach!
