Free Maternity Leave Advice Calls
Here’s an exclusive service you won’t find anywhere else: advice by phone for pregnant professionals and new moms. And yes, it’s free.
- Are you interested in maternity leave advice for your specific situation?
- Have you gathered enough information, but now want personal attention?
- Would you rather not have to pay for just a snippet of my expertise?
Okay, then let’s talk.
What’s the Catch?
The call is free (I’ll call you). The expert advice is free. So you may be wondering, “What’s the catch?”
There is no catch. There is no coaching program. You won’t get any upsell pitch. In fact, I make a sufficient living through sales of my flexible work proposal templates, so I’m free to do other activities.
And what I like and do best is devising negotiation strategies for working women (without having to sell the service). I enjoy talking with professionals more than emailing or blogging, so I carve out time to connect with women like you.
But there is a condition: all I ask is that you please do your homework first: Take time to learn the maternity leave basics and do your maternity leave proposal before requesting an advice session.
The free call is limited to about 15-20 minutes which is usually enough if you do the pre-call preparation. You don’t want to squander your time on getting basic information from me that is readily available elsewhere. (Neither do I.) Instead, we’ll focus on negotiation strategies specific to your situation. That is my strength as an adviser.
Agreed? If so, please use the form below to make your Free Call request. Note: put “Advice Call” in the Subject line.
In the Message box below, include the following:
- a concise description of your work circumstances
- your one major maternity leave or flexible work-related question
- your phone number(s), time zone, and the range of times I can best reach you (limited to noon to 7 PM, Pacific time)
After you submit your request, expect a call from me within a few business days. Talk with you soon!
