The Disclosure Toolkit
Telling your boss you're pregnant shouldn't feel like a career gamble.
Word-for-word scripts, prep sheets and follow-up emails for the four types of manager. Yours the moment you buy.
Sound familiar?
You're not nervous about telling them. You're nervous about what changes after.
None of that is a character flaw. It's what happens when nobody gives you the script.
- Will they stop considering me for opportunities?
- Should I share my leave plans now, or wait?
- What if they react badly?
- How much should I actually say?
- What belongs in writing?

On your side before you finish the sentence.

The Processor
Give them the facts, the plan, the timeline, in that order.
The Wildcard
Unpredictable. Be two steps ahead.

From the founder
Your career is not in jeopardy because you've decided to grow your family. Your career is not over.
I'm Hayley. I lead a large team in a corporate environment, and I've sat on both sides of this conversation: as the employee with something to tell, and as the manager on the receiving end.
I found out I was pregnant two weeks into a new job. I told my manager at 14 weeks, and they were wonderful. Not everyone gets that. I still over-prepared, because years of working with people and sales taught me how much rides on the first conversation. I worked until 38 weeks and came back on a gradual return plan.
I've also had people on my team sit across from me and tell me. I know what helps both sides, and what doesn't. That's why this exists: so you walk in ready, whatever kind of manager you get.
Hayley.

Is this legal advice?
No. It's general information and communication strategy, not legal, employment, medical or HR advice. If you need advice about your situation, speak to the Fair Work Ombudsman or an employment lawyer.
What if I'm not sure which manager type I have?
Take the free Manager Risk Quiz. It takes two minutes and nothing you answer is saved. Or read the Quick Guide in the toolkit and choose the closest fit.
Will it work for my manager?
It can't promise an outcome, because every workplace is different. What it gives you is preparation: the words, the plan and what to put in writing.
