11/14/2019 Demystifying Work Life Balance

12-1:30 PM with lunch provided at 11:30 AM
423 King Shaw Hall
Registration by invitation only

 

Research on the concept of dual-centric provides helpful guidance on strategies for balance. Studies how that people with a dual focus on work and family are less stressed and more successful than those whose primary focus is on just work or just family. We will review the strategies these dual-focused people follow to achieve balance, and engage in related exercises. The strategies presented are relevant for singles as well as those with partners and children. Topics covered include:

  • Clarifying your priorities at work and at home;
  • Gender role and cultural conflicts;
  • Sequencing and boundary setting;
  • Developing networks of support;
  • Finding time for self care, and
  • Action steps to support healthy balance.
