In today’s work-first culture, career women with children are told they have two options: lean in or opt out. Pouring all your energy into work can mean compromising your
commitment to your family. Leaving your job can mean sacrificing the career you’ve spent years cultivating.
Work Pause Thrive presents a third way?one that some of the most successful, and most fulfilled, women have been taking, quietly, for years: a brief pause, or pulling back, from the
arc of your career so you can embrace all aspects of life.
Through first-person interviews along with cutting-edge research collected from nearly 1,500 women, journalist, former advertising executive, and successful ?pauser” Lisen Stromberg reveals
five different blueprints for stepping back from your professional life without sacrificing your ambitions. She shows you how to successfully opt not out, but in?to your family and your
career.
With Stromberg’s guidance, you’ll learn:
- How successful women have paused to focus on their families and come back stronger than ever
- How to use a pause strategically to enrich both your career and your life
- How to prepare personally and financially for your pause
- How men can and want to be important allies in your quest for work/life integration
- How we as a society can?and need? to overcome caregiver bias so we can support parents in the workplace and build a stronger, more committed workforce
Work Pause Thrive also offers targeted solutions for companies to ensure they have the talent they need by empowering women and men to lead the lives they want, lives in which they can
build both a career and a family.
As Work Pause Thrive proves, there is a way ?have it all”?your all, on your terms.
