Guest Speaker: Dolly Jones, Author of Leaving the Ladder Down: How to Combine Career and Motherhood, From the Women Who’ve Done It
What if the biggest challenges of returning to work after having children weren’t meant to be tackled alone?
Join us for an evening of insight, honesty, and hard-won wisdom with journalist, digital consultant, and author Dolly Jones, whose book Leaving the Ladder Down, A funny, practical and crucial guide for women facing the life-changing prospect of returning to work after having children is already becoming essential reading for working mums — and the organisations that want to support them.Based on her own journey and stories from a brilliantly diverse group of women, Dolly offers practical advice, moving anecdotes, and real-life strategies to help women navigate one of the most transformational chapters of their lives — without guilt, burnout, or giving up on ambition.Whether you’re planning a return to work, supporting someone who is, or leading conversations about inclusive workplace cultures, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
