The  Second Shift hosted an intimate breakfast and panel discussion for our NY based members. Jenny and Gina spoke candidly with Ariane Goldman the founder of the HATCH maternity collection and Lisen Stromberg the author of Work, Pause, Thrive: How To Pause For Parenthood Without Killing Your Career. The important take aways:

-Have Confidence

-Don’t apologize for your life and career choices

-Don’t give up easily

-Understand the deck is stacked against you, but don’t let that stop you

-Have realistic expectations of what a non-traditional career path looks like

-Don’t look back, focus on the journey in front of you and making your mark in unchartered territory

What am amazing morning with so many inspiring women. Thank you Ariane and Lisen. This is the first of many events for our members. We will be coming to a city near you soon!
