Bit of light-hearted humour for the working parents among us! If you haven't seen my recent DisruptHR talk, you can watch it here. This is the polished version, where I've had time to practice and make myself presentable.
I'm a parent of two small children, so when I'm not with clients or working on growing my business, I can usually be found hanging out with my two little dudes and their fantastic Dad. In these modern times, it's less work-life 'balance' and more work-life 'blend' or 'juggle', and so here I find myself trying to rehearse my DisruptHR talk with a little 'fixer' in tow.
So, to tell a story with hashtags...#workingparent #workingfromhome #workjugglefail #drillbaby #nevertrustabusytoddler #catlikereflexes #rememberedthewordsanyway #nailedit #practicemakesperfect #nomakeupnofilterwhocares #workingfromhomewithtoddlerthreads #tripodfail #ahighchairisnotasuccessfultripod #stackingblocksarenottoosturdyeither #momprenuer #WAHM #womeninbusiness #femaleleadership #ifyoucantlaughatyourself

p.s. If you were thinking of booking me for a speaking gig or corporate coaching and then came across this...I can assure you a) I'm a very professional and polished business woman b) no, the toddler doesn't come to work with me c) I always make time to practice 😛

Love it Claire – great work to the little man too, think he adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the proceedings.
Thanks Kate :). He’s not quite sure what’s going on and why he can’t ‘fix’ my laptop with his drill, but he holds it together well!
