Back to Work Moms

Helen Grell-Rotante

Moms. You've recently taken on the toughest job in the world and now it's time to head back to the workplace and face a greater challenge.....leaving baby behind.
First of all, determine a goal. And then make your intentions known and ask for the support and encouragement of your inner circle. Ask for their assistance in helping you stay focused. This might take some doing as those around you are accustomed to your role as caregiver. But it's been my experience that sometimes smaller children transition best to thinking about "mommy and work" when they become involved, even more easily than some adults. This process will serve to start building a network as you begin to create a "buzz" about you.
