Do you want to have a baby, but worry it will interfere with your career? Do you worry that having kids, means you'll be stuck with boring work options? Do you think your colleagues' viewpoint of you as a "go-getter" will change, if they find out you are even considering starting a family? Have you become increasingly aware of unconscious bias and how it affects women's careers? Have you heard that women who have children are not only paid less than men, they are also paid less than women without children?!?!?

Overcome these fears and beat the statistics!

In this webinar, Suz O'Donnell will share how to avoid the three most common career mistakes professional women make when planning a family. It's up to YOU to take the bull by the horns to drive the factors that are in your control and influence the factors that seem to be outside of your control. She will:

- Articulate the top three mistakes professional women make when planning a family that prevent them from getting what they want out of their career.

- Distinguish which risk factors are under your control and how you can influence the risk factors that seem to be out of your control.

You will leave the webinar with a three-step plan to ensure you get what you want out of your life and career.

Note: If you already have one or more children, register for the August 31st webinar "Avoid the Top Three Career Mistakes Professional Women Make When BALANCING a Family." If you have kids, but are planning to have another, then you may want to attend both sessions. Each session will prepare you for upcoming business conversations associated with your family plans.
