The results are in: motherhood increases our leadership capabilities 💪🚨📈
I feel like whenever we talk about mothers at work, it’s always the same conversation around what workplaces lose. How hard it is to balance for mums. And how at odds career and motherhood can be.
But what if we talked about all the ways that becoming a mum increases the very skills we need to thrive at work?
That’s what the 2026 Maternal Strengths Report from and .starks set out to explore.
They surveyed 354 working mothers and asked them to reflect on their leadership capabilities before and after becoming mothers.
The findings? Every. Single. Capability. Measured. Went. Up.
