SERVICES FOR PARENTS
At The Back to Work Coach we offer one-to-one and group coaching programs specifically tailored to support parents like you with the unique challenges you face as you transition into parental leave and then back to work after becoming a parent.
Private Coaching
Private coaching programs offer you the chance to work one-to-one (in person or virtually) with Rebekah Fraser, a certified professional coach who understands the unique challenges you face as a parent that is looking to return back to work.
Through a series of coaching sessions, coachees typically:
learn how to establish boundaries
unlock more confidence in themselves
develop a plan for getting others onboard with providing the necessary flexibility and support
gain a better understanding of how being a parent has enriched the value they have to offer their employers
become clearer on what they want their life as a parent to look like and take steps aligned with that.
“The reality is that I would not have felt as confident or assured without Rebekah’s input and coaching. Prior to working with Rebekah, I am confident the business needs would have been met, while I (on the other hand) would most likely be feeling stretched and compromised.
The great news is that there is a lot of good will and intentions on both sides and I am significantly more positive about what returning to work will mean for me and my family.”
The focus of each session will be completely customised to your unique needs and challenges. Common topics include:
Clarifying your ideal work scenario
Defining your ideal home scenario
Asking for what you need at work and at home
Solving practical challenges
Getting a grip on guilt and building confidence.

Understand what drives you and the implications of this on your behaviour, communication, relationships and work style
Appreciate what motivates others and how to appeal to their wants and needs.

Group Coaching
Group coaching provides an opportunity to not only receive the expert support of a certified professional coach but also the support of a small group of 4 to 8 like-minded parents.
We offer this service because too often, parents feel judged and alone during their transition to parenthood and back to work.
This isolation often drives parents to adopt unhelpful behaviours such as putting everyone else before themselves, not asking for help and staying silent about their needs and desires.
Group coaching provides a non-judgemental platform of support plus the opportunity to learn from others who are experiencing similar challenges.
From the moment you embark on your group coaching program, you join a community of parents who 'get it', who understand the pressures you face, who have your back and will be encouraging and supporting you on your journey to balance work and life as a parent.
The Back to Work Coach 8-week Group Coaching Program is perfect for parents who are ready to start preparing to return to work.
“I thought coaching was about someone suggesting ideas for what I could do to improve, telling me what I should do to solve my problems ... I soon came to realise that I needed first to figure out what I wanted to change and then come up with my own solutions.
Throughout I had Rebekah’s support - she asked the right questions to help me reach into myself and find my answers. I discovered how to make small changes, and change my perspective to make a positive influence both emotionally and in what I do.
Coaching has helped to transform my life. I highly recommend Rebekah who is easy to work with. She makes you comfortable and at ease. And most of all she will help you find the answers you had inside all the time.”
