"When you're a mom, you have to operate well with no sleep, you have to be a good multitasker, you have to think ten steps ahead, but also be present, you have to guide people and be sensitive to their feelings, but also a leader and manage a budget and time and all the things that are exactly the skills that you need to be a director. I didn't realize that until I actually got into pre-production. You're managing chaos. I mean, that's what raising a family is, right?" -Julia Stiles, as told to The View on why being a mom prepared her for her directorial debut Remember: The skills you bring to the workforce are invaluable.

🎯 Spot on. Moms get s#*t done: "Moms aren’t just great employees—they are often the unsung heroes that bring balance, insight, and invaluable skills to the table."
Moms get s#*t done. Hire a mom. Talent Strategy + Workforce Planning + Mental Health Advocate
When you think about hiring, you might overlook the powerhouse that is a mom in the workforce. Here’s why hiring a mom can be one of the best decisions for your team and business: 1. Time Management Pro ⏰ Moms juggle work, family, and everything in between, making them expert time managers who know how to prioritize effectively. 2. Problem-Solvers by Nature 💡 Moms are constantly problem-solving—whether it's finding solutions for the family or navigating complex work tasks. They’re quick on their feet and resourceful. 3. Multitasking Mastery 🎯 Managing multiple responsibilities? No problem! Moms are natural multitaskers who thrive in dynamic environments. 4. Empathy and Emotional Intelligence 💖 Being a mom means developing a strong sense of empathy. This makes moms amazing communicators and team players who foster inclusive, supportive work cultures. 5. Resilience and Patience 🌱 Life as a mom requires resilience. Moms bounce back quickly from setbacks and remain calm under pressure, valuable qualities in any work environment. 6. Adaptability 🌍 Moms are used to changing plans on the fly and adapting to new situations, making them highly flexible and open to new challenges. 7. Strong Work Ethic 🦾 Moms don’t shy away from hard work. They’re dedicated, driven, and always give their best, whether they’re managing a deadline or their kids' school projects. 8. Organization Skills 🗂 Keeping track of family schedules and commitments translates well into managing projects, deadlines, and priorities in the workplace. 9. Leadership Skills 👩👧👦 Being a mom means leading by example, guiding others, and managing many types of personalities and needs—skills that translate directly to leadership in the workplace. 10. A Fresh Perspective 🔄 Moms often bring a unique viewpoint, thinking outside the box and considering new approaches, which can lead to innovative solutions for your business. Moms aren’t just great employees—they’re often the unsung heroes that bring balance, insight, and invaluable skills to the table. By partnering with The Mom Project, you can give moms the opportunity and recognition they deserve! 👏🏽 #Leadership #WomenInWorkplace #HireAMom #TimeManagement #ProblemSolving #Empathy #WorkplaceCulture #TheMomProject

Last week in our MasterClass with Prepare to Launch U, Susan and Kelley talked about how mindset is everything. You may not *feel* confident in your job search, but you are taking the next steps in your career without the fear of failure – and that’s confidence. 💫 Here are some of their top confidence building steps: -Forget the uneasiness and just do it. You are a person that tries! -Act like your future self or a role model. -Prepare and practice. Script, rehearse, use tech tools for support. -Shift your mindset. Why try? Because effort always leads to growth. -Focus on you and your vision. Comparison defeats progress. Watch the full session: https://lnkd.in/gRB6unWs #careersearch #workingparents #themomproject
