Arlyne (@heyworkmom) and Jose (Work Unc) talk about the importance of being present (not just physically!) and why being engaged at work is vital to your early career journey. By showing up, staying interested, and using simple strategies to help manage the day can lead to effective ways to stay productive at work.

Adulting is hard, but no worries -- Hey, Work Mom's got you! Over the course of their decades long careers as team leaders and people managers, @HeyWorkMom (Arlyne) and @WorkUnc (Jose) discovered a similar, common pattern between them. As they led, coached, and mentored young professionals and emerging leaders in the workplace, Arlyne and Jose would often be seen respectively as a "work mom" and "work uncle" to the talent and rising stars in their orbits. Hey, Work Mom! was established as an extension and in the spirit of the "safe space, no judgement, tough love" conversations that Arlyne and Jose have (and continue to have!) with their "ducklings" on everyday job dilemmas, workplace challenges, and other common early career topics that employees encounter throughout their career and professional development journeys.
