OUR STORY

Work With Nest was originally created in 2013 by Maggie to close the gaps in parenting support and career coaching. As an experienced midwife and senior manager, Maggie saw that many new parents felt lost during the early transition into parenthood and were anxious about their return to work. Nest was designed to embrace all aspects of an individual’s life and to provide continuity of support, knowing that continuity and support has proven benefits on health, mental and spiritual wellbeing, relationships and performance.

For many of us, our lives have changed dramatically with many feeling new levels of stress and worry, as a result of what’s happening in their family and workplace lives right now. Many speak about their concerns for the future and how to prepare themselves to adapt to whatever lies ahead.

Our coaches can help you – whether it’s how you’re feeling, how to build resilience, manage relationships or maximise career opportunities in uncertain times. We can support you whether you are working from home, transitioning back into the workplace or trying to manage remote teams, to successfully operate in whatever is the ‘new normal’.

MEET THE TEAM

Our team of experienced coaches come from a variety of backgrounds with wide-ranging expertise, including management, HR, recruitment, education and health services.

Some of us are working parents, so we understand what it is like to juggle family and working life and all that goes with it.

All members of our team have enhanced DBS clearance, are indemnified and are professionally trained in child and vulnerable adult protection. Our qualifications and experience allow us to signpost to other services if the need arises.
