Are you a professional who’s recently become a mom (or plan to)? We know you’re well aware that juggling career and motherhood doesn’t end when pregnancy ends. Right through maternity leave and beyond, you’ll need to set yourself up to keep your footing at the office.
This, of course, takes careful preparation and communication with your colleagues in advance of your leave. DRIVEN Specialist Ginny Brown has immersed herself in the career/motherhood challenge multiple times, and has some of the most enlightening perspectives on the subject we’ve ever encountered.
In our teleconference, Ginny guided participants through the before, during and afterward of maternity leave for today’s first-time moms. She touched upon how to maintain your influence at the office while you’re away, and addressed some of the challenges you’ll likely face upon your return, including how to interact with colleagues guilt-free, poising you to ease back into the mix at your own pace.
The moms on this teleconference shared stories of how they’ve coped with these challenges, and discussed motherhood next-steps….like when your baby becomes more mobile! Listen to the chat, and implement the tips into your own upcoming career mom experience.
Within everyone lurks a subconscious bias. First impressions in particular are loaded with bias, and misjudgment only perpetuates from there. It is in our nature to draw bias-laden conclusions about others, turning us all into both the victims and the perpetrators, in our careers as well as our social lives.
Acknowledging that bias is a given, it’s in our interest to see the positive side of bias, and stack the cards in our favor. Dr Keila Tyner, an expert in appearance perception, is here to show us how with a podcast that explores subconscious bias from a personal perspective. Listen in and learn how to “play the bias game and win”. First, you’ll be shown how to look within yourself to keep your own subconscious bias in check. Then, you’ll be schooled on how to influence rather than dominate once you understand how others may be looking at you.

In this new age of nutritional awareness, many of us have become reawakened to the concept of food and diet, attempting in the process to choose carefully what we consume and feed to our families. And surprise, surprise: Many of us have gotten the basics wrong, thanks in part to slick and confusing food marketing. Compound this with our on-the-go lifestyles, our food intolerances and allergies, and the pressure to cave in to our kids’ finicky palates, and we’re right back where we started.
Aside from avoiding all of the 21st century obstacles, eating healthfully requires, at its core, a basic knowledge of nutrition. It also entails a proactive approach to consumption during the course of our long and fast-paced days. DRIVEN specialist and dietician Jodi Weinstein and DRIVEN founder Deborah Goldstein are teaming up to support you in this modern nutritional challenge with a podcast that will lay out a nutritional foundation for you to build upon. The two will also discuss some nutrition myths, and common questions about diet and nutrition.
