The Confident Mother

Helping ambitious women in technology manage their career with confidence and purpose

7th July 2016

10 blog posts you shouldn’t miss

“What are you doing Mrs Bevan, you’re not allowed over there!” I turned round to see who was yelling at me. One of my daughter’s friends at the school sports day. I’d wandered off piste into the undergrowth to take a photograph of a beautiful fritillary butterfly.

School sports day means we’re halfway through the year so I thought I’d share my most popular blog posts this year.

Jamie Oliver and breastfeeding

The popularity and traffic of this post took me completely by surprise. I offered to host a guest post for another NCT breastfeeding counsellor. This one post had more views in one day than my website had experienced in a whole year.

The 5 most important things to focus on when you go back to work

Do you deserve to be loved to the ends of the earth?

Many of my blog posts focus on the practical aspects of confidence however the starting point in my work with women is to explore who you are and what you do. If we just focus on the practicals, we’re ignoring your inner core, and often it’s our inner core that needs help. Help that I provide in a gentle and nurturing way.

How to develop resilience

Explore what resilience is and how you can nurture your own resilience.

I really enjoyed my morning at the school sports day. It’s my daughter’s last year in primary school. I get that warm fuzzy feeling when I see how she has developed; her sense of fairness; her sportsmanship; her desire to always do her best. A bit like my business really.

      Great idea Mike. I created an ebook from a series of blog posts that I wrote last year – Back to Work Confidence Essentials Guide. Was very popular with mums going back to work after a career break or redundancy. I love how you can re-use content in this way.
