IWIRC Great Returners Programme – Session 1 – How to Manage Your Life

We are excited to announce that the Great Returners Programme is returning in 2026 for a new cycle of workshops.

The Programme is designed to support individuals returning to work from a long-term period of leave, whether that be a sabbatical, parental, maternity, sick-leave, or otherwise.

Offered to IWIRC members, the Programme will involve a variety of workshops throughout the year, with a mix of in-person and remote workshops.

The sessions are facilitated by Kate Adey and Fahrah Gulamhusein, specialist return to work coaches, who create a safe and inviting space for members to discuss topics affecting returners, acquire practical skills to manage the change in dynamic, and foster connections between individuals in a similar stage of life.

Please join us for Session 1: How to manage your life - Tuesday 10 February 2026 at 12:30 pm

Join us on Tuesday 10th February 2026 at 12:30 pm for a facilitated and inclusive session focused on the topic of ‘life management’ as a returner in a high performing professional environment. The session will be a hybrid session, taking place at Squire Patton Boggs’ offices for those able to attend in person, with lunch being served from 12 pm, or via Zoom for those who prefer to dial in.

We will be exploring together with purpose, perspective, and practicality:

• what things work,
• what things don’t, and
• how to adjust to the inevitable unknown life events that emerge each week.

You will leave this session with some practical wisdom that you can put into practice straight away and peer support to be with you on your journey.

The session is open to both in person and virtual returners.

This is available to those outside of the London network, albeit they will need to dial in.
