What does “staying true to yourself” mean to you?

How can you balance a demanding career and thrive as a working parent?

My guest on this episode is Daisy Dowling, Founder & CEO of Workparent and author “Workparent: The Complete Guide to Succeeding on the Job, Staying True to Yourself, and Raising Happy Kids”

During our conversation, Daisy and I discuss:

• Why she went into HR after getting her Harvard MBA

• What she learned about coaching leaders while at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Blackstone

• Why she thinks the best talent leaders are “barrier breakers” who help people to unlock their potential

• Why she asks her coaching clients to define their professional and parenting brand?

• Why every working parent should have an “already done” list to track their daily accomplishments

• Her advice for how HR professionals can balance our demanding careers and succeed in their personal lives
