Ask me a Q

Hello, it’s me, Jessica Chivers for a different kind of episode to usual. It’s just me today – no guests - and in this ‘COACH’ episode I’m exploring seven Qs to ask yourself before you return to work. I’ve chosen these because over the last 18 years of executive coaching with people returning to work I’ve found these are the ones that really help set you up for success.

The seven Qs that I unpack one by one:

1.       Why am I returning to work?

2.       What will a successful return look, smell, sound and taste like?

3.       What’s the best that could happen?

4.       How are we going to share the load at home?

5.       What expectations do people have of me?

6.       What resources and support do I need?

7.       What’s gone well?
