Clients say…
“One of the best decisions I made while I was pregnant was to invest in some coaching with the wonderful Laura Duggal, a Parental Return to Work Coach who has been instrumental in helping me figure out what I want work to look like going forward. Our sessions have given me the headspace and (self) permission to establish the best path forwards, and shed some of the mum guilt I’ve felt.”
Ginny Radmall, Director, The Ivy Way
“It’s our role within HR, and as a business, to educate and inform our people managers on how best to support people when they go on parental leave; how dynamics could change, and what we can do best to support them to return really successfully.”
Heather Messenger, Senior HR Business Partner, Arval UK
“The juggle is real. As a working parent there is guilt everywhere you look… what coaching has allowed our working parents to do is work through their experiences so that they can bring their best selves to being a parent and they can also bring their best selves to the workplace.”
Danni Buxton, HR Director, Cherry, Partner Organisation
“ Laura helped me find confidence and direction during my return to work after maternity leave. She helped me develop simple daily practices that make my workload feel manageable. The tools she shared have changed how I manage stress and plan my days. Her warm, thoughtful coaching helped me manage overwhelm, understand my emotions, and reconnect with my strengths. Every session was more valuable than I ever expected.”
Rose, Product Manager
“If your employees feel supported, valued, and listened to, you’ve got engagement. And with engaged employees, you’ve got profitability with your customers and happy customers.”
