If you’ve had to take time off from your job for months or even years, contemplating a return to work can be difficult. How do you know if you’re ready? Are you well enough to return full-time or do you need to negotiate a phased approach? And what can you do to make sure the return itself goes as successfully as possible? This webinar starts to answer those questions - and many more! Content If you’ve had to take time off from your job for months or even years, contemplating a return to work can be difficult. How do you know if you’re ready? Are you well enough to return full-time or do you need to negotiate a phased approach? And what can you do to make sure the return itself goes as successfully as possible? I’ve helped many people in your situation find the right way to tackle their return to work, guiding them as they gauged if they were ready - and then advising them as to the best way to start approaching things with their employer. I very much enjoy helping my clients with this stage of their recovery journey, as it means things are going really well for them!I share so much value in this session! I've taken my experience of helping many, many people navigate this milestone and turned my best advice into a single session for you to benefit from.The event itself was a live webinar held in July 2023. This is your chance to purchase the recording of the webinar itself (1 hour)) and a written capture of the Q&A sessions held afterwards. My full client schedule means I won't be running this as a live event again for a while, so this is your chance to purchase it 'on demand' and benefit from the help I give at the time you need it (now!).Topics coveredHaving helped so many people, I’ve seen how successfully things go when certain elements are carefully thought through and put into place, and I share my Top Five pieces of advice with you at this live webinar. I talk about: How to know if/when you’re ready to start seriously considering a return to work Questions to ask yourself if you think you need to consider a change of career How to broach the topic of a phased return with your employer My experience of how Occupational Health (or similar functions) can help or hinder - and how to make sure it’s the former! Things to consider and address up-front to ensure your first couple of weeks go as well as they can. I also share some smart actions that you can put in place way before you're even contemplating going back to work, in order to smooth the way for a successful return when you're ready. So please don't think this webinar won't be useful to you if you know you've got a way to go yet. Not only will you be able to put these smart early actions in place, you'll also have a much clearer idea about how you'll manage your return when you're ready - helping you feel more confident and reduce any concerns sneaking in. You'll be able to relax knowing you'll be able to tackle things properly when the time's right.Please note that although the guidance and tips I give are not restricted to those who have office-based jobs, many of the examples I use are linked to office-based scenarios. This is because it's usually the case that the majority of attendees are indeed office-based (or similar). Please be assured that the majority of the tips I give can be refined and tailored to returning to any type of job.Although best known for the help I give to those experiencing extreme fatigue conditions such as ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and long covid, this session is relevant to anyone contemplating a return to work after an extended period of sick leave. Especially if you feel you'll need to negotiate a phased return. For example, after being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, recovering from a major operation, or perhaps having completed a successful programme of cancer treatment.Please don't assume that the low price of this product in any way reflects a lack of valuable content. I could have priced it much higher, but I'm keen to help as many people as possible navigate this important milestone.
