'Accessible, informative and full of sound advice .' JANE GARVEY
___________________________________________________
Returning to work after a career break - for childcare, eldercare, for health or other reasons - can feel daunting and overwhelming. You don't have to find your way back alone.
In Return Journey, Julianne Miles - a world-renowned return-to-work expert, Chartered Psychologist, and a successful returner herself - offers a psychology-led, step-by-step guide for any professional looking to get back to fulfilling work. Using a mix of practical advice, coaching exercises and real-life case studies, Return Journey will be your wise companion at every stage: from boosting your confidence as you start out, to offering advice on an effective job search strategy, to helping prepare you emotionally and practically for the first months back.
Above all, Julianne proposes that returning to work is not about hiding your career break or struggling to catch up. It's about properly valuing your wealth of skills and experience, taking control of your story, and coming back stronger than ever before.
