“We’re not here to transform society overnight. We’ll focus on one person, one family, and one career at a time – and it all begins with you.” – Neha Lagoo Ratnakar
We, women, often witness life passing us by, especially when we take a break to focus on our families. We try to live up to the labels put on us by society – mother, wife, daughter. We ignore the itch to do something more with our talents. Why? We’re afraid of what others will say, of making mistakes, and all too often, of our own success.
Although our fears tell us it’s impossible, you can restart your career after a break. Are you ready to ignore those fears and get started? You’re not alone!
Back On Your Feet meets you right where you are, no matter what stage of the career break you’re in. This book gives you the gentle push you need to get started and offers tons of resources, ideas and plans you can adopt and use to create your path forward. Follow along the four stages of career restart with Neha, as she lays out her playbook of tried, tested, and actionable tools. To further inspire and empower you, this book also includes the stories of eleven women who share their career struggles and achievements with no-nonsense honesty.
You have what it takes to make a phenomenal career comeback. You create life for God’s sake!
Neha Lagoo Ratnakar
8 countries, 8 languages and a 9-year-old – that’s Neha’s life in a nutshell.
Neha was born in Indore, India and currently lives in Amsterdam, Netherlands with her genius husband, a strong-willed daughter, and an extremely gullible dog. Neha’s nomadic life as a trailing spouse could have cost her career, and she knows what taking a break feels like. As she has continued her career journey across changing geographies and sectors, she’s faced challenges and learned invaluable life lessons. It’s these challenges and lessons that have carried her to where she is today as a writer.
When Neha isn’t writing, she’s a talent development professional and a part-time entrepreneur. She’s also been a face painter, a handwriting analyst, a website designer, and a henna artist.
In her spare time, Neha enjoys playing improv and saying “yes” to the curve balls life throws at her. And when life has nothing to throw, she shakes things up anyway by doing something crazy. Back on Your Feet is Neha’s first published book.
