Join The 4 Jobs Club!
Helping women thrive in 4 big jobs with sanity and grace: career, kids, aging parents & households!
About Me
Since 2002 I've been helping women navigate careers alongside family. I'm a mom of two adult daughters, a career coach, flexible work expert and the author of two books:
The 4 Jobs Club: How Smart Women Care for It All—Kids, Aging Parents, Home & Career (coming in January 2025!)
Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn't Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead.
You know and I know that professional women rarely have one job. Frequently they have 4: their demanding paid job, along with caring for children, aging parents and households.
Every year about 25% of women leave the workforce because they can't make work fit life. It's troubling because women forfeit up to 4X their salaries every year they're out. And they stay out an average of 12 years.
The fact is that every woman can find more ways to blend work and life—and stay on track for long-term financial security. Especially when they have the help and support from other smart and talented women in The 4 Jobs Club.
Why You Should Join Me
The 4 Jobs Club is a community where you can unapologetically and openly discuss the challenges of nurturing family alongside career.
It's a place where you don't have to worry about being seen as a "lightweight" if you're not reaching for the next big rung on the ladder. You'll be empowered by women finding ways to continually develop their portfolio of skills and expertise—and sometimes "grow in place"—for now, or maybe forever.
And it's a place where it's OK to develop your own brand of ambition and success. In our community of smart women who help other smart women, we talk about how to make a professional pitch for the flexibility you need in your current job—or find a different job where there's more breathing room. We explore the entrepreneurial option and whether it's really right for you. And we strategize about the big messy issues like childcare, division of household responsibilities...and even what to make for dinner.
Most of all, we keep each other on track for long-term financial security. Because always finding a way to stay in the workforce is a form of caregiving, too—for yourself and your family.
What You Get
You get lots of camaraderie, support, motivation, encouragement, and validation at an annual cost that's about the same as one hour of career coaching.
Along with these features and benefits:
- All the online discussions about blending work and life—virtually anything you want to discuss with other smart women juggling 4 jobs. Already 60 discussions are underway—everything from how to ask your boss for more flexibility to how to take a creative approach to childcare to how to reinvent your career. You can start or join a conversation at any time.
- Participation in "Wednesday Wisdom" Zoom calls—alternating among discussions on blending work and life; finding a flexible job that fits your life; creating a "Fair Play" division of labor in your household and finding your own brand of ambition and success.
- Free access to my online course "How to Find the Work that Fits Your Life" (now listed on LearnDesk for $49), including 3 free guest passes for your friends and family.
- 4Jobs Chats—small groups of members who share common challenges, interests or goals meet via Zoom regularly to discuss professional and family topics.
- Free "Wish List" listings—an info hub that helps you find what you need—a new job, a great candidate for your team, childcare and eldercare resources, anything you need to make work & life easier.
- A 20% discount on all my individual career coaching sessions and services—including resume and LinkedIn profile development, interview prep and more.
- A 15% discount on all corporate keynote presentations and programming for your company's internal women's and parenting groups or leadership training.
And for a limited time, women who purchase an annual membership also receive a free hardcover or Kindle version of my book, Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn't Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead via Amazon.
