How To Fix Maternity Leave
You know paid leave matters. Your boss's boss doesn't — yet.
That gap is where most advocacy dies... the eye-rolls in the budget meeting, the "we'll revisit this next fiscal year," the leadership who nods along and then does nothing.
Knowing you're right has never been the hard part — getting the people with the power to agree is.
In this tactical session, Daniela Field I will cover how to go about changing family leave policy at both a company level and a state level.
You'll walk away understanding:
the existing friction that stops paid leave from being implemented
how to create allies and inspire people people to continue the advocacy
how to handle objections and get naysayers onboard
stats and data you can use to persuade company leadership and/or implement state-wide change
