The secret to success. Isn't that what many of us want? We want the recipe, the formula, or the template to gain personal and professional success. Is it possible for a mom to attain career success after giving birth? Is there opportunity after maternity? According to Reva Seth and the over 500 women she interviewed the answer is yes! Read on to find out how you can win a copy of Reva Seth's The MomShift and join a Twitter chat with the special guest author.
Reva Seth interviewed women from all walks of life including Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Girl Gone Child blogger Rebecca Wolf. The MomShift shares many inspirational stories of post baby career success. Each chapter of this career companion contains discussion questions to encourage brainstorming and thinking outside the cultural norm box. The MomShift movement stresses that the motherhood and career success combo or work/life balance can come in a variety of formats. What can this personal and professional success look like? Well, let's take YMC's founder and chief Yummy Mummy Erica Ehm as a prime example of this "MomShift". After a successful career in television as Canada's first female VJ, Erica reinvented herself and re-framed her life to forge a new post pregnancy career path by using new media as a tool to reach her fans and moms everywhere. This is what Erica had to say about The MomShift,
“Reva Seth’s book The MomShift combines storytelling and research to examine the obstacles women face in the workforce once they have kids. Frank conversations with a wide variety of successful working women combine to make a tapestry of useful insights and guilt-free solutions for modern moms.” — Erica Ehm, Creator/Publisher, YummyMummyClub.ca
If you're looking for inspiration to get back in "the game" or thinking of making changes after your maternity leave you really, really must read this book! The stories will enlighten and encourage you to throw away society's notions of what you can achieve and arm you with the confidence to go after your dreams. Join me and other women in Reva Seth's MomShift "Opportunity in Maternity" campaign!
