smash presents "Meet the (pandemic) Parents", a one hour webinar hosted by IAPI.
It goes without saying that the last year has made being a parent (which can be one of the most important, difficult & rewarding jobs you will ever have) all the more challenging thanks to a combination of lockdowns, working from home and school closures/home schooling.
Juggling Zoom with TiK ToK, Normal People with Paw Patrol and Client Budget Spreadsheets with Seesaw, the additional pressures on Pandemic Parents have been immense.
smash has teamed up with Spectrum.Life, your EAP provider, to present this one hour webinar to reflect on and discuss the experience of parenting in a pandemic.
We will be joined by Anita Fletcher, Spectrum's resident Parenting Coach who will discuss the key challenges and offer her top tips. We'll also host a panel discussion with IAPI members/parents including Fiona Field, MD, OMD Ireland, Vaunnie McDermott, Client Service & Business Director, Connelly Partners, and John Mathews, Head of Finance, In the Company of Huskies.
The panel will discuss their individual experiences over the last 12 months in coping with working from home while providing full time childcare and they'll ask Anita their parenting problems. Participation and questions from the webinar audience are also highly encouraged and we hope you'll be able to gain some valuable advice from this session.
