Smeeta Mistry is a senior data analyst who had coaching to support her return to work at ITV after maternity leave. She reflects on how coaching was a space to think out loud and how the right probing questions led to her thinking differently and shifted her mindset. These small but significant shifts led to making a bigger contribution at work and a sustainable and guilt-free blend between work and home. “It’s crazy to think how much more relaxed I am work now.”
