Empowering Experienced Professionals for Successful Career Transitions
Getting Back into the Workforce
The coronavirus pandemic has certainly taken a toll on us all, and it has hit caregivers, working women, and those who have lost their jobs because of COVID especially hard. If you are itching to get back to work after an extended career break, this info-packed session is for you! You will learn about:
When Sheila Murphy was 40 years old life was great. Amazing husband, three kids, financial security. Her mom used to say “life is hard.” Sheila never believed her. Fast forward six months. On a beach in Mexico, her husband collapsed and died of a cardiac arrhythmia. She arrived home to tell her eight, six, and two year old that their dad was dead . . . the hardest thing she had ever done. And then she grieved for two long years . . . the hardest job she ever had. She found herself spending too much time worrying about her kids, and she strongly believed that they needed to see her working. BUT SHE NEEDED FLEXIBILITY. This was the missing link. With the support of two incredible business partners, Sheila started FlexProfessionals. They help talented professionals who have taken career breaks to re-enter the workforce part-time. They help them find meaningful work that allows them flexibility. They also help women and men working full-time to scale back to meet demands at home. In doing so, FlexProfessionals is untapping an incredible talent pool that adds tremendous value to businesses and nonprofits. If you are looking to get back in, to reinvent yourself, to begin a new chapter after a difficult loss, Sheila would love to connect with you.
