Work/Life Imbalance is a presentation for any business audience 

This seminar highlights how our thinking drives our behavior and offers techniques, tools and strategies for getting what you want...and enjoying it. 

Balance is the state we achieve when all the aspects of our life are in harmony.

Work/Life balance is not about time management.

When we do things that energizes us that we are passionate about time expands.

Sometimes make choices based on who’s pulling us hardest and loudest.

*When is GOOD ENOUGH, GOOD ENOUGH?  

*Working too much may be counter productive if we burn out.

*We need DOWNTIME for CREATIVE and INTELLECTUAL WORK

There is no magic wand. Competitive high achievers like the rush until it becomes counter productive.

Unreasonable is now the new reasonable

SO…what CAN you control? YOUR THINKING.  

The key to work/life balance is understanding how our THOUGHTS drive our EMOTIONS which drive our BEHAVIORS and the RESULTS we get.  

In this seminar, we examine how our thoughts effect our actions.

*It’s not about positive thinking, it’s about STRATEGIC thinking.

*When you feel you are between a rock and a hard place you are not seeing all of the options.

*Do you have the tools for dealing with competing priorities?

-Learn the techniques of reframing, relabeling, how to ask better questions, differentiating obstacles from excuses, how self-talk can sabotage results, and how over-generalizing and catastrophizing causes stress and problems.

-Build on your strengths and create a life that is both meaningful and productive.
