Continuing to Grow Your Career While Starting a Family
August 26, 2020 - 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Have you ever wondered:
*** When would be a good time to start a family?
*** Would I fall behind if I took leave from work to raise children?
*** Is it possible to grow professionally as a sleep deprived new parent?
Martina Wan Lockwood asked herself these questions three years ago and decided nothing should stop her from continuing to grow her career while starting a family. In this presentation, Martina will share her journey of gaining valuable new skills and experiences, diversifying her network, staying current and making new friends, all while spending the better part of three years on leave from work raising children and completing an MBA. Martina will talk about her successes, failures and lessons learned along the way.
