Food for Thought “Career & Parenthood”

How do we juggle work life balance when “life” comes with such a huge mental load? When the family to-do list is three times as long as the work to-do list and it is you feel like you are always the one that has to remember. The thinking part of having children is permanent and it is exhausting. It is invisible, unmeasurable and often inescapable.

How do we thrive at work whilst navigating the worry and guilt of managing a family at home? How do we learn to share the planning and management of our homes and not just the delegation of a never-ending task list in our minds?

It is possible.

The Human Resources Development department and the Family Office organize this online seminar with Dr. Desiree Dickerson for doctoral researchers and postdocs with family commitments, to explore what mental load is and how it manifests in our daily lives.

Group Coaching 
We have all been given useful advice, we’ve read the books or watched the TED talks. We understand, at least in theory, that we might be able to prioritise our well-being more and navigate the juggle of parenthood and our careers better. But in practice it gets a little more complicated. The reality is: “the learning is in the doing”.
Through these group coaching sessions, we take the time to explore what tools we would like to concretely put into practice and explore the barriers that come up along the way.

Only participants of the Food for Thought “Career & Parenthood” can attend the group coaching sessions.
