INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
In this episode of Elevate, host Sue Reeve is joined by Sophie Maunder, founder of MATRI Parental Coaching. Sophie spent over two decades in high-pressure communications agencies, reaching CEO level as a single mum of two, before retraining as a coach to fix a gap she had lived herself: talented women leaving not for lack of ambition, but for lack of the right support at the moment they needed it most.
It is a candid, practical conversation for any woman navigating maternity leave and the return to work, and for any leader who wants to keep brilliant people rather than watch them go. Sophie shares why the transition back is the point where so many careers stall, what genuine support actually looks like, and the business case that changes the conversation in the boardroom.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why 85% of mothers leave the full-time workforce within three years, and what is really driving it
- What happens in that critical first year back, and why 27% of women do not make it through
- The difference between a maternity policy and genuine support, and why one is not the other
- How the right six months of support transforms retention (one founding client went from 77% to 93%, saving 11 jobs and nine times the investment)
- The first thing any company can do, for free, to keep the brilliant women they already have
- Why the spring 2027 gender pay gap reporting rules make this urgent now
