If you’re a woman who is in the working world or has ever been in the working world, Stephanie Kramer is here to provide you with a new way to think about pregnancy at work. Chief Human Resources Officer at L’Oréal USA and author of Carry Strong: An Empowered Approach to Navigating Pregnancy and Work, Stephanie is dedicated to a people-first approach and supporting others as they balance intersections of their work and personal lives. In this interview, we discuss Stephanie’s own experiences becoming a working mother, why she wrote Carry Strong, and how pregnancy can (and should) be a time of empowerment for women. 

Don’t miss this episode of Claim Your Confidence where we talk about:

• How Stephanie, like many other women, factored motherhood and its future impact on her career into her major decision while in college
• Stephanie’s early career, her experiences working abroad, and how she balanced becoming a mother with her passion for her job
• How discussions surrounding pregnancy in the workplace have progressed in recent years, and the work that still needs to be done to provide women with the support they need
• Stephanie’s process of writing Carry Strong, how the stories she heard inspired her within her own life, and how she hopes the book can become a resource for women everywhere
• The work Stephanie does as Chief of Human Resources at L’Oréal, and how she strives to create a supportive environment that gives everyone permission to bring their whole selves to the workplace
