Workplaces cannot afford to miss out on one of the most valuable resources. Parents, and more specifically, mothers. There is an incredible power that is gained from the responsibility of caregiving that is an asset to any business, organization, or institution. The trick is to apply self-awareness to your experiences so that you can translate them to other opportunities and spaces.  

Kelly is joined by Ricarda Zezza, the founder and CEO of Lifeed to discuss how caregivers can step into their power at work. Lifeed is the only learning platform in the world that transforms life transitions and care activities such as parenting, caring for an elderly person, or going through a crisis into opportunities to train soft skills, or as we like to call them, life skills. 

Riccarda believes that caregiving is a superpower. 

Big Takeaways: 

• (5:28) “What we can do, the kind of caregiving attitudes we have, the capacity we have of communicating, of understanding the instance we have, the empathy we can bring to the workplace, but also to the world they are needed. And we can see that now. I mean, it's pretty clear that the world needs more care.” 
• (7:03) “While our children grow, our mind keeps on growing with them. They change every day and they challenge us to understand every day, a new reality. And that's an incredible exercise of mental agility...It will be easier for you to keep on learning as you are asked to do nowadays.” 
• (20:50) “Time is a very little factor nowadays, because...machines have changed the idea of time. Humans are about capacity. Humans are about attention intuition. It's about creativity. It's about how we manage change or those skills that we only have and machines can have them.”
