These last few months, I’ve felt more professional pressure than ever before and thanks to all the wonderful immune building illnesses my little bub picks up from daycare, I’ve had to cancel/ reschedule more meetings than I can remember 🤒 Having to bail on commitments, especially with my team has caused so much guilt, a feeling of letting people down and at times feeling like I’m failing. And, I’m the ‘boss’ as some would say. So if I’m feeling this, I wonder how other working parents feel? 🤔

My advice to leaders, managers and business owners is to sit down with your employees, especially working parents and ask how are they REALLY going. Reassure them that you know they’re doing their best at juggling family and work. Ask them how you can REALLY support them and the teams they work with?

This working parent gig is hard, no one wants to let anyone down or miss meetings but sometimes it really is out of our control.

The journey back into work after becoming a mother has certainly caught me surprise; the endless childcare illnesses, the million balls in the air you’re trying to juggle and not to mention the emotional roller coaster of leaving your precious little love for hours on end. I used to think I appreciated the challenges working parents faced but wow, how wrong was I? Being a working parent really is a super power 💥

But there are always two sides of the coin, I’ve absolutely loved re-connecting with everyone after a year offline, been blown away by the support I’m receiving and forever grateful that I started nearly 6 years ago and for the awesome team that has helped get us to where we are today 🚀

With so much change over the last 12 months, I’m loving catching up with so many friends. Expect a call from me any day 😉

Ps- any tips on how to juggle it all, always welcome 😅

‘Choose a job a you love, and you will never work a day in your life’

I love this quote and personally love everyday I get to work on and but it’s important that we also take time off to recharge our batteries and connect with loved ones.

This Easter I completely disconnected and spent time at the beach, swimming in the sea and enjoying yummy food 😋 and WOW, I feel so refreshed and energised for it! It’s amazing what a few days fully off can do.

How did you spend your Easter break?

Ok, this is not a sponsored post but I had to share this with you. I am such a fan of Tony Robbins.

Why? Because he’s not a fluffy motivator, he shares practical, real world tools and systems to help you live your life to the full whilst taking your goals to the next level; for me that’s being able to impact more people 💥

Go over and check them out, you won’t regret it.

Are you ready? 🙋🏼‍♀️

So often I get asked about what my favourite thing is about being a Product & Tech recruiter. And to be honest with you, I can never narrow it down to just one thing.

To me, being Product & Tech recruiter means I get to help entrepreneurs and business leaders navigate what can be a challenging process of hiring the right people to scale their business. I also get to help people reach their full potential by connecting them with meaningful employment so they’re not only achieving but also fulfilled. What else could be better? 😃

Absolutely loving the journey into Business Mastery 🙌🏻

I am so excited to be building a new Product team for a large digital organisation embarking on a huge transformation here in Melbourne 😃

This organisation is an iconic Aussie brand who are looking to accelerate their product maturity, starting by bringing in a Head of Product.

It makes me so happy to be able to help people and businesses achieve their goals each and every day 🙌🏻

During this pandemic, we've seen organisations take their pre-COVID hiring processes and move them online but now that hiring is ramping up, it's clear that it's not as easy as simply taking the 'old' and making it work online.

In my latest blog, I share my ideas on how to make sure your remote hiring strategy is up to the task to ensure you're attracting, securing and ultimately not losing A-players to your competition:
