Returning to work is a significant step in a mother's journey and may be overwhelming. After a considerable amount of time away, it is hard to know where to begin and where you might fit. At Untapped Potential, we aim to reignite one's career but also value the importance of placing family relationships first. We can give you the tools you need to skill UP in your profession in the workplace without stepping down from your profession in the home.
Let's navigate it together!
We know you have the coveted skills the workplace needs, and that caregiving has not diminished your unique gifts. The Returner's Accelerator is a program that simply taps into your cultivated expertise and offers guidance on how to apply those skills for today's workplace!
How can we be so sure?
We at Untapped Potential are Moms and caregivers! We understand all the ways that people who have highly satisfying and financially rewarding careers have to make changes when the kids or eldercare come along. Whether you are not working in the workplace, under-employed, or hitting the limit of your work/life juggle, we want to help you find the unicorn job that works for you.
Project and time management? Fundraising? PTA meetings? Meeting deadlines for the kids' after-school activities? You are more than ready to brave your new profession, so let's help you get to where you want to be!
This program is for you if you are:
Wondering how your time as a full-time mother can affect the next phase in your career
Untapped Potential efficiently networks forward-thinking businesses with untapped talent who spent time caregiving.
Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of work-life balance
Our Returners' Accelerator encourages talent with in-demand skills proven to continue to advance our client’s workplace. You CAN find the "right fit" keeping your skills current while raising your family. This event will move you into action quicker, with a better sense of confidence.
Not sure how to define your professional identity
It's easy to believe you've lost your professional capabilities when you've been away from the workplace for so long -- but you never stopped working! We see your time as a full-time caregiver and illuminate how those same abilities can be elevated to good use in your prospective career. We engage candidates and team up with inspiring female mentors and returners who help redefine work-life success. This can be you too!
Our Returner's Accelerator Workshop was designed to give you the key tools we know help all returners - in just 3 hours, you'll benefit from the support of peers, mentors and coaches!
What we'll cover:
You: Your Aspirations, and Where You Fit
Building and Delivering Your Elevator Pitch
Overcoming the GAP - How to create your UP profile, how it overcomes bias, and how to present your community/volunteer work to showcase your skills
Interview Tips, how UP's Interviews differ and open up opportunity
Mock Interview Practice with a benevolent mentor who will help you if you get stuck and give you constructive feedback in the moment.
Once you sign up, you'll receive directions to prepare you to succeed with our Accelerated Learning Event.
So don't wait, start your journey now! If you do this critical work before you "have to get back to work," your search will be much more about discovery and the right stepping stone to your ideal role and less about taking whatever is available.
Once you have gotten really comfortable with all the topics in the accelerator, you'll be ready to discover opportunities, and you'll have the tools to meet them!
