Family or career? We can make it (together).
Of course, the careers of women (mothers) also affect the lives of men (fathers). Those who have gone through this know that not every day there is enlightenment , but it works. When and how to deal with the woman’s return to work after maternity leave? What circumstances can influence or facilitate decision-making? How to combine family and work life so that it is not a complete trouble? What impact does endless managerial work and projects have on the family? During an open moderated discussion of 3 generations of women (Václava Jersáková, Martina Kučová and Petra Rejsová), we will share with you real experiences, stories, failures and successes that can inspire you in further decisions. The discussion will be arranged by an experienced project manager, husband and father Michal Korf.
