Reinvent.
ReInvent is a series of exclusive interviews to inspire and support working parents and carers.
Stories of women and men who, often without knowing it, champion change in their communities and workplaces.
​
Stories that tell life experiences that are unique but also so common, we recognise ourselves in them.
​
They are not an instruction to follow, but an inspiration to reflect on your choices and to see what is possible.
​
To show you that you are not alone. There is a community of professionals who want to recalibrate their lives after becoming parents or carers because they are career ambitious and want to be more present for their families.
To inspire you to explore different ways of living a fulfilling life. To ReInvent. And once you do, you will open doors for others to follow. You become a champion in your community.
​
ReInvent yourself! We've got your back!

Be inspired. Follow us. Share us.
