Good evening
let’s start with a number in 2015
an ipsos poll revealed that 31% of
women felt that their departure a
maternity leave had an impact on
their career
a negative impact one woman in three
so yes I know if there are young people
girls or young women in the
room tonight it’s not very
encouraging what good is
continue your studies or do your
evidence in his first job since
obviously for a third of you
at one time or another it will take
choose between work and children
how in these conditions to judge and
career and maternity
this question I asked myself and
rested in 2008 at the birth of my
first child
at that moment I found myself at
center of a triangle that many
women know shared between my life
of woman my new life of mother and my
professional life
so obviously this triangle can also
apply to men who also
become fathers at the birth of a
child
but even if things get better
without leader
thank you gentlemen the numbers are still
there in 2016 according to the Observatory of
inequality
a woman still goes twice
time as her spouse a day to
take care of domestic tasks and
take care of children
and in addition to the daily care given
to children it’s also us the most
often
who before the so-called load
children’s mental
what is the mental charge a
example if I resume the survey which
I spoke previously
well when you have to get a
sick child at school in 61% of
case does mom who respond present
or who manages to find a
solution to go get his
sick child
how not to feel torn between
his life as a mother and his legitimate desire
to see yourself flourish professionally
it is of course this new relationship
at work that sets in at that moment
there in the life of a woman that I
would like to make my subject speak tonight
by asking me this question and we will
posing as the
and if despite the numbers and despite
the ominous birds that you
predict the end of your career at
hardly your pregnancy announced
and if the birth of a child was
the opportunity of a rebirth
professionals for me in 2008
I am a collaborator involved
in a company in the sector
I love my job and the
opportunities they bring me and then
this is August 2008
I hold in my arms my first born
counting the days off I had
accrued
and then my maternity leave I come back
at work in January 2009 is 9 months
later seven months later speaks and
this is the first element that I
would like to share with you tonight
the birth of a child leads to
makes a professional break in the
a woman’s life well yes because even
if the paternity leave was
democratized so far it’s
still we who will give birth and that’s
we who are moving away from our
work more or less long according to
our desires and especially according to our
potential
so yes during this period life
of continuous business of customers
do not wait for positions to be vacated
which can not claim
and yet if we envisioned these
periods of non professional break
not like the insured setting
but as an opportunity a
possibility of taking a step back
indeed the fact of moving away
daily like that of his name
professional during these
break periods can be
the opportunity for you to see your
work with new eyes
maybe even to spot the
malfunctions to come back with
innovations my manager of the time does not
were not mistaken because he
asked me to make a report
of surprise
when I got back to work and it was
besides in these conditions there that
I had proposed a focus fication
our commercial reporting
because while I was on leave
of maternity with my baby in the
arms
I was far from the numbers and the
daily at a stroke I had noticed
that somehow you are twice
the same job
if you have FESCI both men were
can the possibility of having these
pause periods of height gain
in relation to their work
so ladies capitalize on these
periods of professional breakdown
transform reclamation rights and
came back with new ideas for the
benefit of all
in 2009
I come back to work I feel
different as stronger and that’s
there the second point that I wanted
share with you tonight
the historian event libya tells them
very well give birth to children
is not just a flourishing
carnal
this also causes the maturation of
abilities including professional
so with my words to me that
would mean to come back the same in
better
indeed have thought to become crazy favreau
sobs inconsolable morisson
for my part, it armed me for
face the most
difficult and what about my ability
working
me who until my 30 years put
always considered a big
sleeper I can tell you that ten years
and three children later I can finish
relatively late a record and be
almost shrivel the next day and then
we discover what it is
effectiveness
no more question of staying at the office
until 8:30 pm to refine a file
you go back to get your child back to
the nursery or at the nanny but not
only because we love our
work but we also want assisted
at the first steps of our child we
also want to be near him at night
for homework
what better boosters to improve
its time management that the desire to
spend time with your children
and that she better boosters than her
children to dare to propose to his
employer to work differently from
make meetings more efficient by
example of setting up the
teleworking
brief to you to be force of
proposal do not come back to work
with the label of the one who had a
child
come back with all you are you
the woman who yes had a child but who
also comes back stronger
boosted by the energy that this kid
breathe in a word come back to you
better
in 2011 new professional break
I’m expecting my second child at this
opportunity I take six months off
parental and I change jobs
on my return though I had started
to hear him this sentence to he goes
we must consider curbing its evolution
professional still with two
children start
however for me two years
exciting where I discover a
new job
I meet a lot of people I travel
a lot with two young children
at home why because I have a
guard mode that works and on
which I can rest
so some when I leave the house
in the morning I do it with a hint of
guilt but I do it too
confident and serene
compared to my children and this is where
the third key that I would like you
deliver tonight on this famous balance
professional life personal life
the importance of child care
shared nursery assistants
nurseries no matter
a woman can not be concentrated
and effective in his work
if she did not get her children well
kept if she does not feel her children
well kept a rebirth
Work involves setting
place of a guard mode
serene in 2014 new break
professional
I’m expecting my third child and that’s
the beginning of my burial
professionals ah yes because at
the announcement of this happy event
I had to have several times this type of
reaction then first no but
wait it’s an accident
no because 3 or must also bring closer
must be a little crazy anyway
immediately followed by this sentence made
famous phrase right now you are you
stop working now that you have
three children at home
yes of course I stopped
a few months on parental leave because
that I wanted to enjoy these moments
extra with my little ones but not that this
professional break was also for me
the opportunity to take stock of the
aspirations and 2015 was the year of
all the daring I leave my
company I train myself at coaching jose
push doors and I meet
exciting people i’m developing my
network I write a book it looks like
at a professional funeral not
of course
on the contrary, that fertility
game I live there fully a
professional renaissance and for that
I actually applied the points that
I spoke to you previously
firstly taking a step back as I
you said I developed I have
taken advantage of these moments of pause
professional to take stock
my aspirations
secondly the same and better
mother of three children i feel
laid-back experienced layer ready for
to take on new responsibilities
and meet new challenges
thirdly the energy these three
little things my children push me
gives envy and courage to go
to clear new horizons then
yes of course it exhausts me as all
children I believe but it’s also in
them that I can this news
energy to move forward it’s them who me
gives this courage fourthly the
fertility fertility in the broad sense
because for me the birth of my children
accompanied by a formidable
opening up to others then this has me
allowed to develop my network well
sure but above all it allowed me
to broaden my horizons
fifth, I told you about it
the guard mode that works on
which I can rest and then to my
sides
I also have the sixth point that
allowed to live this rebirth
professional my rebirth
professional I have at my side a
spouse who supports me
unconditionally and who supports me
also on a daily basis in the sharing of
domestic tasks and in education
of our three children then for that
thank you my love
indeed ladies did you know that your
professional career does not depend
that of you she depends she varies
also depending on the personality of
your spouse is not me who the
said these are two researchers a man a
wife
two Americans and according to their study
the more your spouse is involved in
family life plus your salary is
high yes and always according to
brittany salomon and joshua jackson so
these famous and American plus your
agreement is good with your lover
the more you feel good in your
job and the faster you climb the
steps of the hierarchy
so of course we saw that there was
still a lot of work to do on
sharing domestic tasks
please gentlemen but that’s
well there the last element that I
wanted to share with you tonight
press your half
I am deeply convinced that we do not
not succeed alone or in any case not
against or despite the person with
which one shares his life but well
with her because eventually this
professional renaissance is much more
a simple professional project
it is a project of life and this project of
life it takes the right and constantly to
two together because I doubt that
this balance will evolve
when my children will be fifteen years old or
25 years old I studied extensively
because I wanted to have a job
who I like I really like working
I like developing projects in
team
I like to achieve goals but I
am also this mother who takes pleasure
to see his children grow up and his two
items
far from opposing me constitutes
fully
there is not on one side the active woman
and on the other hand
there is to me simply with all
his tremendous opportunities that
open to me and for which
generations of women fought
so to finish my testimony this
evening I would like to tell you a
history
it is in a village there is an old
wise a little boy and the little
boy spends his days posing
questions to old wise and old
wise always has the answer just the
little boy he would like to ask him
a glue once to the old sage to a
question to which he would not know
answer then days he has an idea he
catch a little bird and ready
in his hands he says to himself I’ll go
see the old sage and I’m going to ask him
this question is the bird is
dead or alive in my hands
if the old sage answers me that he is
alive I crush ray a little but – and
then quick the little bird will be dead and
if he tells me he’s dead
I will open my hands and the bird
will fly away happy with this farce
who will do to the wise old man and approaches
and he with the bird in his hands he
ask him this question does it
the bird is dead or alive between my
hands
the wise and thoughtful old man and then him
said the answer is in your hands
so tonight I would like to tell you the
same thing
ladies and gentlemen your gratitude
professional she is in the hollow of your
hands
do not let anyone tell you the
contrary thank you
[Applause]
