Ep 217. Daisy Dowling: The Workparent Toolkit
from Work and Life with Stew Friedman
Daisy Dowling is Founder and CEO of Workparent, an executive coaching and training firm, and in 2021 she published the book Workparent: The Complete Guide to Succeeding on the Job, Staying True to Yourself, and Raising Happy Kids. As an advisor to working parents, Daisy draws on her own experience as a parent, her years in investment banking, and her work in the field of talent and leadership development to help people find happiness in their careers. In this episode, Stew talks with Daisy about her evolution from investment banking to advisor for working parents, the useful tips she gathered from speaking to a variety of working parents across different stages of the parenting life cycle, what it takes to be the mayor of the village that raises your children, and more about how to succeed as a parent and in your career. Here then is an invitation for you, a challenge, after you’ve had a chance to listen to this episode, and if you are a working parent. Take a moment to find an opportunity to use the advice Daisy offered at the end of this conversation: Express appreciation to your parenting partner – anyone who helps you in this aspect of your life – for their contribution, however big or small, and see what happens.
