Becoming A Chief Home Officer: thriving in your career shift to stay-at-home mom

The Story

Thriving in Your Career Shift to Stay-at-Home MomGuidance for moms choosing to shift from the workplace to the career of full-time motherhood--filled with wit, realism, and delightful practicalityIdeal for personal use, mentoring relationships, and group discussionAllie Pleiter knows firsthand the culture shock, surprises, joys, and uncertainties of leaving the workplace to stay at home and raise children. With disarming wit and a refreshing personal transparency, Pleiter tackles both the “whys” and “hows” of this transition that strike at the very core of a woman’s concept of self, of accomplishment, of worth. Becoming a Chief Home Officer constructs a fresh new “benefits package” for the profession of motherhood and offers a wide array of practical advice from “labor relations” in averting strikes and tantrums, to new perspectives in seeking “raises, praises, and promotions.”Three distinct audiences will find help and hope in these pages: the working woman considering this transition, the newly-at-home mom adjusting to culture shock, and the “approaching burnout,” been-home-awhile mom struggling with frustration or dissatisfaction. Pleiter’s witty admission of mistakes and mishaps evokes knowing grins and empathetic laughter to punctuate her wonderfully practical advice.Hearts at Home Workshop SeriesIdeal for personal use, mentoring relationships, and group study, all books in the Hearts at Home Workshop Series include two valuable features: personal reflection questions within each chapter and a leader’s guide in the back of the book with group discussion questions and suggestions.
