Coaching Working Parents - with Ayesha Murray

Lee talks to Ayesha Murray, host and creator of The Parent Equation Podcast, as well as a coach for working parents who joins the conversation to discuss the ways in which the world of work changes when children arrive in our lives, and the best way of striking that work/life balance.  KEY TAKEAWAYS It is often difficult to view our own careers and achievements with the necessary perspective required, in order to properly steer us towards where we need to be. The main challenge facing working parents is to find the correct balance and headspace between work and home. We all want to do the best in both fields, and we can as long as we recognise that each has its place. Perfect balance for one might no necessarily work for someone else. Each person bring their own challenges. Sometimes the challenge is recognising that it isn't even time to ourselves that we require, but something far different. A coach in these circumstance is useful in creating a safe space, and who will identify limiting beliefs, and then break them down. The most important element is that it is action-driven. They must provide practical ways to move forward. BEST MOMENTS 'It took someone else to highlight my potential' 'That is a hell of a lot for a mind to balance' 'Balance is completely different for every single person' 'It's about challenging myself to do something new'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Business Problems Solved Podcast      The Parent Equation Podcast - https://www.ayeshamurray.com/podcast.html Ayesha Murray - https://www.ayeshamurray.com/my-story.html ABOUT THE HOST For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.
