Speaking Of: Motherhood & Freelancing
Tuesday, February 4, 2020 at 10:00 (Central European Time)
In this session, the speakers will exchange their views and experiences as freelancing mothers. They will explore different approaches and try to find answers to questions such as “How does being a freelancer with kids compare to being a freelancer with no children?” and “How does being a freelancer compare to being employed when you have children?”
They will share strategies and tips, worries and bliss. Why? Because both feel it is a topic that deserves more attention, more of an open dialog among peers and with clients.
Why are they only talking about motherhood? Well, because they are mothers. If you are a father or have taken on any other parenting/guardian role and want to join them for their discussion, feel free to leave a comment during the Live and they will invite you on screen.
