Reestablish Your Working Parent Street Cred
Has your career come to a standstill? Does nobody ask about your children anymore?
You have lost your Working Parent Street Cred.
The metreoric rise through the office ranks sustained you for years. Then, your priorities shifted to diapers, tantrums, and funny stories to tell around the office. Your peers were fascinated by every tale. They were amazed that you could get so much done in the office and still manage to spend time with your kids.
Then one day you told everybody about how your kid scored the winning goal in her soccer game the night before, and nobody even smiled. When you got back to your cubicle, you realized that you have not changed desks in five years and have been lucky to scrape by with cost of living increases.
You have lost your Working Parent Street Cred.
You are not alone. This problem affects every working parent at some point in their career. You need to learn the trick that they know about how to reestablish your Working Parent Street Cred. And, for a special introductory rate of $0 dollars, I will show you their secret.
Case Study - Madonna
Madonna is a working mother. Nobody is really sure if you can call what she has done for the past 20+ years a career, but she has definitely been busy. She also has two kids, but they are 5 and 9 and nobody really thinks about them anymore.
She had lost her Working Parent Street Cred.
Madonna needed to reestablish her Working Parent Street Cred, so she did what every rich celebrity does. She took a trip to Africa and bought herself some new publicity…I mean a baby.
It worked for Angelina Jolie. We hardly even think of her as an actress anymore. We think of her as a hard working mother saving African children one adoption at a time. We think of her hanging with the officials in the UN building. She became a working mom, she reestablished her Working Parent Street Cred.
Madonna’s performance career is on a downswing. She seems like she would be a good fit for speaking about the poverty problems in Africa since she is willing to say anything at anytime to anybody that will listen. She can give concerts with the proceeds going to charity. But, to get the lucrative engagements with the U.N., you have to actually adopt a child from Africa.
That’s right. The secret is high profile adoptions. I’m not talking about adopting some kid from Philadelphia. I’m talking about saving some child from malaria and AIDS by dragging them out of the heart of Africa. Once you have your cushy U.N. assignment, you will be able to keep your child connected with his heritage during your yearly photo op trips back to Africa. The R.O.I. is almost instantaneous.
People will be amazed that you were willing to take on the challenges of adopting a child with so many potential problems. People will be amazed that you are able to juggle parenting with the many responsibilities of talking with U.N. officials. People will be amazed that you have shaken Angelina Jolie’s hand.
You will once again have Working Parent Street Cred.
Act now. Contact your favorite African country leader and schedule your adoption visit today.
