Well Workplaces

This is our final podcast of the working parents mini-series and it's a goodie!  We're back with Poppy Griffiths and Tom's asking the big questions, like "what do you think stops women from leaning into what they want at work?" Poppy believes there is an undercurrent of family demands that drag us down to the weeds and it impedes on what we want in life (that possibly is a successful career).   Maybe women often feel like they only have themselves to blame for the imbalance in work and life.  On one hand, they do want a successful career, but do also feel this undercurrent of home demands.    For a lot of working women, this does sound familiar?   Ask yourself:  "What is holding *me* back by way of demands from a family perspective?"  We hope you enjoy this episode.      ~ Poppy Griffiths is a professional coach and speaker on high performance.

Are you a high performing juggling, struggling working Dad? The changing desires and needs of working Dads in the last decade has been great to see. It is well documented that working Dad's want to be more hands-on with caregiving duties, as well as still manage career progression. With more workplaces bringing parental leave for Dads up a few levels, there are certainly positive signs for Gen Z Dads who are wanting to be more involved than previous generations. In this episode, Poppy Griffiths and Tom discuss the topic of how working Dad's can set themselves up for success at work and home. Poppy and Tom discuss the different types of Dads, how we can change the working Dad conversation in the workplace and also discuss some strategies for Dad's who are feeling overwhelmed with work and home.
