Book Description
From a CEO of a multimillion-dollar company that empowers working moms, this guide gives managers an inside look at what mothers really want from their leaders. In a post-pandemic job market, creating a truly mom-supportive workplace is the ultimate competitive advantage. But there’s a pervasive problem across workplaces big and small: Managers aren’t asking new mothers what support they need to transition back to work successfully. At the same time, working moms are afraid to ask for help—resulting in poor employment outcomes for both parties. The solution? Intentional and open conversation, which has to start at the managerial level. Go Ask Your Mothers is a guidebook for leaders at every level and in every sector, offering them: An outline of the struggles new working moms face from a lack of proper accommodations to the wide range of mental and physical postpartum challenges Context for why communication problems can arise between managers and moms A road map for initiating successful conversations with new mothers Proven strategies for facilitating successful transitions back to work for new moms Investing in working mothers is more than just a powerful retention strategy; it’s an investment in your entire organization’s success. Now more than ever, we cannot afford to lose these highly valuable employees—and, equipped with the right tools, we won’t have to.
Without My Mother
Author: Melissa Cistaro
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 1443458724
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
How Do You Forgive a Parent Who Has Failed You? One summer, Melissa Cistaro’s mother stepped into her baby-blue Dodge Dart and drove away, leaving behind Melissa and her brothers. Rarely seeing their mother as they were growing up, they blamed themselves for her leaving, turning to each other for support and seeking out often destructive ways to cope with living without their mom. Decades later, with children of her own, Melissa finds herself in Olympia, Washington, as her mother is dying. She has just days to find out what happened that summer and to confront the unthinkable fear that a “leaving gene” might be lying dormant inside of her. She knew she came from a long line of mothers who left their children. But when Melissa stumbles across a folder titled “Letters Never Sent” tucked away in her mother’s filing cabinet, she begins to feel the wreckage of her mother’s painful journey, before and after she abandoned her family. Alternating between Melissa’s tumultuous coming-of-age and her mother’s final days, Without My Mother is a haunting yet ultimately uplifting story of one woman’s quest to discover how our parents’ choices impact our own and how we can survive those choices to forge our own paths.

The Boy He Left Behind
Author: Mark Matousek
Publisher: Monkfish Book Publishing
ISBN: 1958972053
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
“Mark Matousek has produced [a] riveting account of his search–at age 38, with the help of a private detective–for the father who abandoned him at age four. A searing meditation on the psychic harm suffered by men and women without fathers, this wise odyssey wrestles with questions of life and death and the search for the meaning of one’s existence.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) “I was four years old when my father came back to kidnap me,” begins this gripping memoir about Matousek’s search for James Matousek, the drifter father he never knew. Matousek chronicles his compelling search for his own father by hiring a detective and reveals his own life as he follows the hard-bitten investigator from one dead-end to the next. Described by the New York Times as “ part reminiscence, part detective story, part spiritual musing,” this memoir is more than the story of one man’s search for his father; it is also a look at the meaning of life and how fathers contribute to that meaning.
