Divorce and Your Career with Vicky Townsend

HER EMPOWERED DIVORCEHOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Vicky Townsend, President of Divorce Right Inc.SUMMARY:Our guest on this episode of Her Empowered Divorce is highlighting the terrible (and usually unnecessary) damage that contentious, drawn-out divorces inflict – on our bodies, our psyches and our financial futures. Vicky Townsend, president of Divorce Right Inc., shares with Host Beverly Price her passion for providing resources to avoid the kind of disturbing fallout reflected in the statistics. Divorced women are at higher risk of illness, poverty, bankruptcy and mental health issues. Their children, too, suffer from the stress. But it doesn’t have to be that way, says Vicky, whose company specializes in advising employee assistance programs. She explains the many ways in which divorce negatively impacts workplaces – in terms of profitability, productivity and performance – and how putting in place solid HR strategies helps employees and employers alike navigate to a better place. Without adequate guidance and support, women often experience shame and isolation – especially on the job. Many simply quit. You’ll learn about the tools available to HR departments – and to all of us – and how an investment in coaching can pay significant bottom-line dividends. Vicky shares Top Tips for getting through what is one of life’s most overwhelming transitions while protecting your health and the promise of a brighter future. “Just know that there’s help out there – people you can bring into your case that will make it feel better,” she Vicky, who is also the founder of the National Association of Divorce Professionals. You’ll come away from this conversation ready to enlist the help of a certified divorce professional who can steer you away from the landmines of acrimonious divorce and towards a settlement in which everyone wins.
