Sarah Ong: On supportive employers, being vulnerable at the workplace, and Respectful Parenting

Natalie Goh Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode, I tap on the wisdom of an old acquaintance. Sarah is mom of two-year-old Elijah, and her family will be welcoming a new member this month (exciting!). Sarah discovered her passion for social impact work in the earlier days of her career, and is currently effecting change at the policy level as Head of Government and Regulatory Affairs at a global tech MNC. 

In this episode, we talked about:

- Finding a career that aligns with her values
- How progressive employers foster an environment for open, honest, and at times difficult (but necessary) conversations
- How crying at the workplace may not always be a bad thing
- Finding a like-minded parenting community and coach to support her family
- Owning your relationship with your child
- Respectful Parenting and applying it to all aspects of her life

I learned so much from her experience, and hope that you will find it of great value too.
