Parenthood and caregiving come with unique responsibilities, making it easy to put personal and career goals aside. Yet, setting goals for growth can be incredibly fulfilling. Goals give us purpose, keep us motivated, and model perseverance for our children.
The Parent Pathways program supports parents and carers of young children with resources to reach their professional and personal goals. Here’s how to set and achieve meaningful goals:
- Identify what matters most
Consider your true priorities, whether it is returning to work, learning new skills, or creating a balanced routine. Goals that align with your values and family needs are easier to stay committed to. - Break down your goals
Big goals can feel overwhelming. Break them into manageable steps, like updating a resume, taking a short course, or applying to jobs. Each small action brings you closer to your goal. - Make a realistic plan
Build a timeline that fits your life. Whether it is dedicating a few hours a week to progress or adjusting as needed, a flexible plan makes it easier to stay on track. - Find support and resources
Accessing resources is key, and Parent Pathways offers career coaching, resume workshops, and networking to help parents and carers succeed. - Celebrate every step
Small wins build momentum. Recognise each achievement, as every step forward sets a great example of resilience for your children.
No matter where you are on your journey, achieving your goals is possible with the right support. The Sarina Russo Group is committed to helping parents and carers reach their aspirations through the Parent Pathways program. This program offers personalised career coaching, resume support, and connections to valuable resources tailored to meet your unique needs.
