Preparing for maternity leave

from Behind The Milestones Hosted by Milestones Kids Therapy Hub

If you disappeared from your role for three months tomorrow, what would break? In this solo episode, Emily (very pregnant and very much in planning mode) walks through everything she has done to prepare her clinic for parental leave, and what any business owner, clinician or admin can borrow from it. What we cover: Why a business that only works when you are there is a systems problem, not a personal failing The end-of-year and end-of-week checklists that should have existed ages ago How highlighting every part of her position description showed exactly who takes on what Handing over 95% of a caseload with verbal, written and in-person handovers Keeping clinical supervision going with external supervision and regular group sessions Setting boundaries and contingency plans between business partners, including a back-up plan for the back-up Perfectionism, baby brain and letting go of "no one does it like I do" all make an appearance. You don't have to be pregnant to need this one. Want support building a career that's sustainable AND successful? That's exactly what our mentoring is designed for - milestones.au/mentoring
