ABOUT US
Having a baby is an incredible adventure. But balancing your career with your family can be tough. We can help you find that balance. We are coaches, parents and experts in the world of work. We are Work & Baby. Welcome to our community.
PARENT COACHING
We support parents as they transition back to work after being on maternity, adoption or shared parental leave. In our 1:1 sessions we tailor the coaching to you and your specific situation. It might be helping you transition to part-time or looking at ways to manage the juggle of work and home life. We have 20 years of experience in organisational psychology, HR and career coaching. And we’re working parents too. In our unique courses we combine practical videos and insightful exercises to build your complete plan for success.
MANAGER COACHING
We help managers support members of their team as they return to work from maternity, adoption or shared parental leave. During 1:1 or group coaching sessions we help managers consider the challenges parents might be facing as they return and the actions they can take to support them. These might be logistical challenges as they balance home and work, emotional challenges as they leave their baby at home or simply how to help them get up to speed and feel part of the team again as quickly as possible.
What Clients Say About Us
Our Testimonials
I have come away from the experience with a clear understanding of my strengths and working preferences, and vastly increased confidence to take the next step in my career.
I can’t rate Karina highly enough! As a full time mum I had been out of the workplace for several years. With some valuable coaching from Karina focusing on interview technique I was successful in changing career and securing my ideal role.
Karina is a delight to work with and has exceptional expertise in her field of knowledge.
Sessions around presentations can be daunting but Karina’s approach made it very easy to make tangible improvements in both my presenting and confidence.
I would thoroughly recommend coaching with Karina. The sessions were focused, professional and in a nice, relaxed environment to learn.
Karina understood the demands of my job and how exactly to help meet my goals. Through our coaching sessions, I was able to develop skills that helped me gain confidence to be more present and take charge of my environment.
My coaching experience with Karina has been exceptional. My career progression has been accelerated thanks to 1:1 coaching sessions and I owe a huge amount of gratitude for the support and guidance Karina has given. I am always looking forward to the next session and working with Karina for the foreseeable future.
My assertiveness and proactiveness have also been continuously growing after all these sessions with her. She is such a great person to work with and is very open minded. Also, has a great understanding in any cross-culture situations.
Karina was my absolute first choice when I recently needed more specialised support to navigate the challenges of returning to work following maternity leave.
