I hope this episode finds you safe and healthy. In this episode, I chat with business coach Emma McQueen talking about improving your confidence, knowing your strengths and managing your mindset. Emma describes herself a little bit like "Pollyanna" because she likes to see the good in every situation and this is evident during our conversation.

Emma has been working from home for 3 years and during this episode provides great insights and experiences both from the perspective as her role as a business coach and personal stories as a mother of 3 girls.

In this episode we talk about:

•Improving your self confidence as a working mum and return to work after parental leave

•How to determine your strengths

•Knowing your strengths and working on these is like lipstick, you need to keep on reapplying

•Working from home & being productive with kids in this "new normal"

•Importance of having a routine & communication

•How mindset is important working from home

•Focusing on what you can control during Covid-19

•Discussing our new normal and how this may change the workforce in the future

During the episode when we are talking about adjusting to working from home, Emma mentions "if we would not do it in the office, would we do it at home" which is a handy mindset to have.
