Why is this needed?

Gallup’s latest research on women in the workplace shows that 51% of working women report high levels of daily stress, and 42% say their jobs have negatively affected their mental health.

The struggle to balance work and personal responsibilities—combined with inflexible workplace structures—is driving burnout and prompting many to consider leaving their roles.

  • Women juggling caregiving and work demands are 81% more likely to feel burned out.

  • 64% of working mothers say they are the default caregiver, significantly impacting their career progression.

The 2025 Burnout report from Mental Health UK states that women (94%) were more likely than men (89%) to experience high or extreme levels of pressure or stress in the past year.

A recent Mayo Clinic study of over 4,000 women (of whom 19.7% identified as caregivers), found that caregivers had a higher prevalence of moderate to very severe menopause symptoms (42.5%) compared to non-caregivers (36.4%) and that the proportion of women experiencing moderate or worse menopause symptoms increased with the number of caregiving hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I get it. If you’ve never experienced the power of coaching before then it can seem daunting. That’s why I always recommend a discovery call first so you can feel totally comfortable with how this works. Establishing rapport is key. Hop on over to the Contact page to get in touch with your questions or book a free discovery call.

  • I coach across a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:

    • Organizational change and transformation

    • Individuals returning to work after parental leave

    • Career change and planning for ‘unretirement’

    • Peri/menopause challenges

    • Managing the ‘midlife collision’

    • Exploring ‘imposter feelings’ and limiting beliefs

    I take a ‘neuro-inclusive’ approach - please let me know if you are, or suspect you may be neurodiverse.

  • There’s no obligation to commit to a ‘set’ number of sessions. I’m currently running a discounted rate ‘intro hour’ so you can test the water. In terms of accountability, I find it helps to then commit to a ‘block’ of three sessions, and then if you want you can always add three (or six) additional sessions, but you are very welcome to book session to session. (If your coaching is funded by your employer, they may stipulate a set number of sessions.)

  • I know that with busy roles it can be tricky to fit in coaching during the working day. Please email me to enquire about evening availability - I’m always happy to offer evening slots by appointment.

  • Absolutely! Please ask your L&D contact (or the person who books coaching) to get in touch with me and I’ll be happy to send them my details. Email emma@thetripleshift.org or send them the link to my Contact page.

  • Great question! The ICF defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” Sounds pretty good right? What coaching is NOT is me telling you what to do! It is also very different to mentoring - if you’re unsure if coaching is for you, book a discovery call and we can explore that further.
