Working MAMA offer two primary options for group participation — organization sponsorship and individual self-selection.
Specifically, Working MAMA welcomes opportunities to partner with organizations to offer a Working MAMA group to its workforce. Program design modifications are available to support the organization’s specific goals. We offer volume participant/program discounts for organizations that wish to sponsor multiple groups within a calendar year. Contact us to begin the conversation!
The individual self selection option is best suited for women in a community or metropolitan area who seek to forge new relationships with working moms outside their place of employment. Registration drives group placement. Cost is $1200 per person and includes breakfast or lunch, materials, and the 2009 edition of the book, Immunity to Change .
Regardless of the approach (organization sponsorship or individual self-selection), coaching groups are typically limited to 10 women and meet once monthly for six months. Monthly meetings usually occur over breakfast or lunch and last for two hours.
The six-session series covers the following general agenda (order of sessions may change based on groups’ requests or needs):
