98: The Lack Of Parental Leave Opportunities In The United States Two Kids and A Career

Dr. Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell joined Jill Devine this week on the podcast.
Dr. Amy Beacom is the founder and CEO of the Center for Parental Leave
Leadership, the first full service consultancy in the US to focus exclusively on
parental leave. She conceived of and began developing the field of parental
leave coaching and consulting in 2006. Drawing on over 25 years in executive
leadership development and coaching, Amy consults with Fortune 100 companies,
international organizations, working parents, and more to transform the way our
companies and our country engage with the parental leave transition.
Sue Campbell is a writer, author, and coach who has worked with the Center for
Parental Leave Leadership since its early days, helping to communicate the
transformative impact of their core mission. Her writing, often focused on
issues important to parents, has been published in many outlets, including
Prevention, Good Housekeeping, Scary Mommy, and Mamalode.
Amy and Sue co-wrote "The Parental Leave Playbook"
[https://cplleadership.com/book], which helps parents take control of their
leave and make the most of what's considered a career time-out, but is actually
a vital "time-in" for your work and life. If you're an expecting or new parent
concerned about how your leave and return plans will affect your visibility,
candidacy for promotion, work relationships, and performance (not to mention
your identity and home life), this book will guide you into the smoothest
transition possible. Most importantly, this book will help you as you grow and
strengthen yourself and your family while remaining a professional. If you are a
leader or supervisor this book will give you insight into the employee
experience and help you manage from a place of understanding, confidence, and
skill.
Paid Leave for All [https://paidleaveforall.org/] is the national campaign of
organizations fighting to win paid family and medical leave for all working
people.
