Join other women entrepreneurs to learn more about the fine art of mixing babies and business with seasoned presenter + mama Amy Lynch.

About this event

Is it possible to mix babies and business? Presenter Amy Lynch of Mixing Babies and Business shares her first-hand experience of pitching and presenting alongside her kids as babies, toddlers and preschoolers.

There are a number of reasons why parents show up in their business with kids in tow, including:

  • Lack of affordable or accessible childcare
  • Parenting style (feeding, routines)
  • No local village or support network
  • Because they want to

In this 90-minute workshop, you will learn:

  • How to prepare for events as a parent
  • The best way to show up (with your kids) in business settings
  • How to present in-person, virtual and hybrid audiences alongside little ones
  • Learn mindset affirmations, practices and rituals to build confidence

PLUS each attendee will also receive a mini PDF guide to help them navigate the business world with kids in tow.

Live Zoom transcription will be enabled during this event. Should you require other accessibility supports, please email kerry.ramsay@queensu.ca as soon as possible since advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility services.
