How to Pivot Like a Pro: Jeegna Chohan on Changing Lanes in Your Career

Work It Like A Mum

Ever sat at your desk daydreaming about changing careers but thought, 'Nah, too risky'? Well, grab your go-to mum fuel—coffee, tea, or even that half-eaten granola bar—and hit 'play' because this week's Work It Like A Mum episode is just for you. We're chatting with Jeegna Chohan from Saint-Gobain, who took the leap from a 10-year HR career right into the heart of digital marketing. Yep, she did that, and guess what? You can, too!
Jeegna gets real with us—sharing not just the high-fives but also the 'Oh, what have I done?' moments. She dives into how Saint-Gobain became her supportive tribe when she announced her pregnancy, offering flexibilities and perks that make a difference. Whether you're wondering how to pivot your career, balance a demanding job with equally demanding kids, or just find an employer who doesn't just talk the talk but walks the walk, this episode is packed with nuggets you won't want to miss.
So, if you've been tossing around the idea of a career switch or simply want tips on how to be a working mum without losing your marbles, this episode is your toolkit. Listen in, and let's start redefining what 'having it all' really means!
