8. Zena Everett: Careers coach, author and motivational speaker

This one’s about work.   Whether you’re a working mum or dad looking for the right work-life balance, a mum returning to the workplace after maternity leave or you’re someone who wants to move up the career ladder but isn’t quite sure how.  Zena Everett has the answers. Zena used to be a recruiter so she knows how companies think. She also knows how they SHOULD be thinking in order to recruit the best people - particularly parents. As a mum of two, Zena gets why parents need work that’s flexible. Here she explains the traps some working mums fall into like squeezing a five days of work into four and being too grateful for simply having a job in the first place.  Oh and don’t be the one who takes the tea-towels home for a wash! zenaeverett.com Zena's Books Stay in touch... facebook.com/howshedoesitpodcast instagram.com/how_she_does_it twitter.com/HowShe_Doesit
