Time for an Aristo-Chic reboot … Here is the Mama-tabulous survival guide to getting back into the work place

Posted on by aristochicsupermum

There are so many Mama-tabulous divas out there at the schoolgate who have left work to raise a family, done an incredible job and then somehow lost their way and don’t think they can get back into the working world. I’m here to tell you, that you can !

Firstly, recognise yourself for the awesome Mama-tabulous chica you are. On a daily basis you are handling multiple stakeholders, dealing with difficult clients and juggling priorities.  Write a list of your amazing skills. At the top it can be that you are the most incredible Stakeholder Engagement lead, you handle difficult client (mini-humans) situations daily – you are a Super Mum !

  1. Review your professional ambitions. If you do want to get back into work, but are scared, ask yourself why? Is there someone you can talk to about this?

  2. Consider getting a coach for a few sessions to motivate you.

  3. Google what the latest trends in your industry are and watch a YouTube tutorial on this.

  4. Dust off your CV and update it.

  5. Worried about what to put on your CV for the gap between now and when your children were born? Don’t worry – you are not the only one. There are two ways you can address this, firstly write into your CV: X date to X date:

    a. Career break to raise small children

OR

b. CEO of [insert your surname] Industries. Technically this is true. You are the driver of your family, how it functions on a daily basis, budget managing, planning, future growth etc. Mama-tabulistas do it all! Hopefully with the help of your partner, but if not, then you are a titan Mama-zonian too!

Or maybe you’ve realised you don’t want to go back into the office, then think about starting your own business. More to come on this in future Aristo-Chic blogs.

Whatever your choice, it’s ok. Just start something. Anything. It doesn’t have to be perfect. That one tiny action you take today will trigger other things to happen too.

REMEMBER. Just Good Enough is awesome too !! You’ve got this ! Xx
