CERTAIN WORK SKILLS WILL ALWAYS BE EVERGREEN. TEAMWORK. PROBLEM-SOLVING.
ADAPTABILITY. THEY’RE NECESSARY, AND ALWAYS WILL BE. BUT, IN TERMS OF UNDERLINED
TALENTS, THEY’RE PRETTY BLAND AND DON’T ACTUALLY EXPRESS WHAT’S TRULY NEEDED IN
A MODERN OFFICE. THIS ISN’T TO SAY YOU SHOULDN’T DEVELOP THOSE SKILLS. BUT
MODERN WORKPLACES, WHETHER JOINED FROM YOUR KITCHEN TABLE OR IN PERSON, REQUIRE
A BIT MORE TO HELP YOU TRULY SUCCEED. FUNDAMENTALLY, A COMPANY’S SUCCESS COMES
DOWN TO ITS STRATEGY AND ITS CULTURE. ORIENT TO BOTH, AND YOU’LL BE SEEN AS
VALUABLE.

TIPS AND TRICKS
TAKING PATERNITY LEAVE? CONSIDER HOW CONNECTED YOU WANT TO BE
IN TERMS OF BEING CONNECTED TO YOUR WORKPLACE WHILE ON PATERNITY LEAVE, THERE
ARE SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT. SOME NEW DADS GO INTO BLACKOUT MODE, FULLY
UNPLUGGING FROM THEIR MICROSOFT OUTLOOK FOR THE DURATION OF THEIR LEAVE. OTHERS
CHECK IN OCCASIONALLY ON THEIR FAVORED PROJECTS, CHALLENGING SCENARIOS, OR BIG
YEAR-LONG INITIATIVES. AND SOME FAVOR A DUAL APPROACH, STARTING WITH A
NO-CONTACT PERIOD, THEN CHOOSING TO ENGAGE MORE AS THEIR LEAVE GOES ON.
GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO WHAT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO DO. AND KNOW THAT IT’S BETTER TO
UNDER-PROMISE ON WHAT, IF ANYTHING, YOU’LL BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE WHILE OUT OF
THE OFFICE.
THE POINT IS THAT EVEN BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR PATERNITY LEAVE, YOU SHOULD THINK
ABOUT HOW YOU’LL RETURN TO WORK

— DOING SO WILL MAKE YOUR RETURN EASIER, AND RATCHET DOWN YOUR STRESS LEVEL
WHILE CARING FOR THE NEW MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY.
