Unpacking the Menopause Mystery
An AC Coaching Conversation with Dearbhalla Baviera and Yvonne Inglis
"One in ten women leave their jobs due to severe peri/menopause symptoms."
This LinkedIn Live interview, hosted by Hetty Einzig, dives into the nuanced effects of menopause and perimenopause on the coaching profession. Dearbhalla Baviera and Yvonne Inglis share their
recent findings on how menopause impacts coaches, supervisors, and the workplace.
Informed by their experiences and contributions to the Association for Coaching's Mental Health and Wellbeing Working Group, our guests shed light on the often-hidden ways menopause affects wellbeing, work performance, and
client relationships. While awareness of physical symptoms increases, the mental and emotional impacts on coaches often go unrecognized.
Topics Covered:
- Research Findings: The significant effects of menopause on mental health, productivity, and self-confidence for coaches
- Challenges and Opportunities: How coaches navigate symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and burnout, especially for self-employed people
- Positive Impact: The empathy, resilience, and boundary-setting skills that menopause can bring to coaching relationships
- Support Strategies: Practical tools and resources that supervisors and coaching bodies can use to support professionals going through menopause
This event fosters a vital dialogue on a topic that remains largely overlooked. Let’s raise awareness, share resources, and create a supportive environment for every stage of this journey.
