Charlotte is absolutely incredible. The care, preparation, and expertise that she provides means that you’re left with a finished product that will become a long term resource for your company and colleagues. The Learning Sessions that Charlotte provided were insightful, relevant, and thorough. I would highly recommend her to anyone who’s interested in learning and offering learning opportunities for parental support in the workplace.

KIND WORDS

It has been a pleasure to work with Charlotte in recent months to craft some tailored training for line managers supporting parent colleagues in their teams. As part of developing the session, Charlotte took the time to meet with several colleagues from around the business to listen to and understand their experiences and the challenges they may have faced owing to their parental responsibilities, and that was borne out in some targeted feedback for the business in how we can best support parents, both within and outside the workplace. The two live sessions (one at a very bright-eyed 5am to accommodate APAC and ANZ colleagues) were thoroughly practical and thought-provoking, and we have had some fantastic feedback from colleagues and managers who attended. We will be integrating these resources into our reboarding program and I'm confident they'll help to improve the experience of parent colleagues at Taylor & Francis. Many thanks to Charlotte and I hope we'll have an opportunity to work together in the future.

Charlotte is one of a kind. She has a powerful, kind and empathetic energy, enabling anyone lucky enough to work with her to feel like they can!! She doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff and her honesty, pragmatism and realness is all part of her magic. Thankful for every opportunity to work with Charlotte, I’m always left feeling inspired. I can certainly say the same for colleagues too, from educating managers on the topic of baby loss, to supporting police officers and staff to rerun to work, she’s been utterly brilliant on everything we’ve worked on, offering help, support and mentorship along the way, without realising the impact she has.

Charlotte has been amazing to work with. The insight she brings to hear and understand the challenges women feel returning to work after children helps so many. Just wish it had been there for me when I had my daughters.

Char is a fantastic mix of extremely knowledgeable practitioner and down to earth critical friend. She ran her fantastic Strong Return programme for a group of our placement colleagues who were looking to return to the workplace after a break and it was brilliantly received. The open, empathetic environment Char created meant everyone felt able to share their story and we all took away practical tools and points of reflection that will be used in many ways in both our personal and professional lives. The feedback from our delegates has been amazing. If you are looking for a friendly, engaging professional, who can distill encyclopedic knowledge into relatable content and practical, adoptable tools, techniques and prompts then I would highly recommend Char.

KIND WORDS

Charlotte does an amazing job of articulating and making people aware of areas that allow for a smooth transition for both manager and employee when someone comes back to work. Charlotte was clear in her delivery, respectful of each individual situation presented in our Q&A session, and highly knowledgeable. Due to her background, and experience the advice she was giving was taken on board. I would highly recommend Charlotte for advising organisations on what is required when working with parents. Hope to work with you again soon Charlotte!!!!

We recently did a session with Charlotte on Supporting Parents in the Workplace aimed at People Managers and it was a great event. Charlotte wanted to learn about our business beforehand to ensure it was relevant to our partners and was professional, well prepped, engaging and Charlotte delivered exactly what we had hoped to get from the session. We are hoping we get the opportunity to work with Charlotte again in the future.

Firstly I wanted to say thank you Charlotte, you advice, challenges and friendly nudges have meant that I really re-evaluated what I wanted, set my boundaries and now manage my imbalance pretty well. Your knowledge and demeanour make you the perfect coach, I would recommend you to anyone who is looking to challenge their imbalance, not just parents. Your sessions armed me with not only advice but the tools that made that advice fit for the future. Thank you!

Charlotte is an exceptional professional whose passion and professionalism is paramount in all her work. She is a true campaigner for the equity and inclusion of parents and mothers as they go through their parental journey with empathy and expert knowledge. Her flexibility in making product suit the customer and her ability to suit multiple workplace cultures is a true credit. Would highly recommend working with Charlotte in empower parents and embolden gender and LGBTQ+ equality in the workplace.
