Event Description:
Finding Work-Life Balance
Finding work-life balance is particularly challenging for women because they often take care of most of home, personal, and child-rearing responsibilities. In addition, because they are women, they may feel that they need to prove themselves above and beyond in their professional lives.
At this event, you will hear from a panel of experts who each provide a different perspective on this issue. They will provide professional tools to achieve greater efficiencies. They will talk about how to set work-life goals and how to achieve them. They will share their personal experiences in improving their lives by finding the right balance.
