Pivoting Careers after a Long Break

In the five years that I have spent at home with my children, I have contemplated many possible scenarios when I finally return to work full-time. Perhaps I would revive my consultancy, or go work with one of my entrepreneurial friends or maybe even join a huge multi-national corporation to be a cog in the machine. As the pressure to return to work mounted, I stopped and had a hard look at what motivates me professionally.
