What is The Bounce Back?
The Bounce Back is a service to provide you with support and expertise at any point on your parental leave journey. We guide you through this journey with 1:1 coaching and group workshops.
How can we help you?
In a survey we conducted only 14% of people felt prepared to return to work after parental leave. Most felt anxious, lacking in confidence and had received minimal contact from their workplace throughout their leave.
We are here to change this. Through coaching we get to the core of what your worries and hopes are. We use coaching techniques and models to help tackle the most common concerns in addition to providing you with take away tools to help you in the workplace.
Currently most sessions run online. We are based in London and are happy to arrange face to face sessions and workshops around Greater London and Hertfordshire.
Our Offerings
1:1 Coaching
1:1 coaching is the most tailored method and will follow you from before leave all the way to 3-6 months post return.
The Bounce Back standard package is 6 sessions:
-
1 session pre -leave
-
2 sessions during leave
-
3 sessions post return
There is no set agenda, however a typical package would look to prepare you for leave by setting expectations and a focus on communication with your organisation. Whilst on leave we would tackle concerns such as leaving your baby, confidence and fear of the unknown. Post return is where there is a bigger disparity in the needs of each individual so the focus will be on what suits you, from balance and boundaries to career development.
The one thing all packages have in common is that they give you an empathetic and experienced sounding board, tools and models to support you, and coaching techniques to provide growth and stability in what for many is a challenging time.
Workshops
Group workshops are a collaborative alternative, covering many of the same topics without being tailored to you. Currently there are two workshops on offer:
-
Preparing for Leave
-
Ready to Return
These workshops tackle the most common concerns and allow new parents to learn from each other and to find individuals they can relate to going through the same challenges.
