At PathForward Parenting, we go beyond traditional methods to offer an innovative service designed to empower every working parent in the workplace.
Unlike generic coaching or workplace wellbeing programs, we specialise exclusively in parenting, making us true experts in this field. This dedicated focus allows us to deliver bespoke consulting and training solutions tailored to the specific needs of your employees and organisation.
Why It Matters
Balancing a career and family shouldn’t be a constant struggle—for parents or for businesses. Companies that prioritise parental support see higher retention, engagement, and long-term productivity. Yet many workplaces still lack the right structures to help employees navigate these transitions successfully.
That’s where we come in.
Founded by Anna Sear, a former corporate director turned consultant, coach, and workplace strategist, PathForward Parenting helps organisations retain and support working parents through specialist consulting, training, and coaching programs.
With a background in corporate leadership, coaching, and HR strategy, Anna understands the real challenges of parental career transitions—and how businesses can turn them into an advantage rather than a liability.
