About Us

Hello! We are Fran Hill and Sarah Grant – Rethink Personal Development.
We set up Rethink because we had both had the experience of the confusion, anguish and sacrifice you make as a Mother when considering the trade off between returning to work and caring for your children. We found there was no advice, no neutral party to talk things through with, and no process to follow to help us through this challenging time in our lives, a real watershed, when we could have taken so many different paths. It would have been so helpful to have had a neutral party to talk things through and bounce ideas off.

It’s no surprise that becoming a Mum is a life changing event, but after the initial ‘babyhood’ period is over working Mums thoughts will turn to their plans for returning to work. Some want to go back to work, either full or part time, others may want to stay at home with their children longer, while some women may want to consider a new career which will fit around their family.

This period of your life can throw up all sorts of issues. You may have had a long career break and have feelings of low self esteem and concerns over your skills and ability to cope in a work environment. Or you feel under pressure (either self imposed or otherwise) to return to work when deep down you aren’t sure that is the best option – and just how are you going to balance a full time job with looking after you family? Or perhaps you have been off with your children for a period of time, but are beginning to feel a little bored and are looking for fulfilment, mental stimulation and a challenge.

Mothers are under a lot of pressure to do the right thing for their kids. But the possibilities are endless. How are you going to decide what is ‘right’?
It’s about making choices. What is right for you? What do you need? What fulfils you? What do you want?

At Rethink we will enable you to take time out to look at your life, to think about these questions, and come up with the answers that in turn will guide you to begin to plan for the next stage of you life. We will help you to reassess your priorities, consider your values and beliefs, and plan the route forward in whatever direction you choose to go. You will come away, feeling positive and energized and having learnt a lot about yourself – and you may even make some lasting friendships and had some fun too!

We look forward to welcoming you on a course soon.
