Remember hearing how technology was going to usher in the age of total leisure? The reality is many of us are putting in longer workweeks, and the workplace is more demanding on our lives than ever. In this difficult environment, how can we strive to maintain balance between work and life?

The truth is that work/life balance really comes down to two things:

1. Knowing your priorities, and
2. Making tough choices.

However, most people we work with have lives that are spinning too fast to take a step back, assess priorities, and truly put frameworks in place to help make those difficult choices. 

This presentation suggests a metaphor of navigation instead of balance.  By better understanding some basic principles involved with navigating a sailboat, we learn some important insights into how we can more effectively navigate through our lives.  In addition, the presentation provides an overview of an extremely effective process for better juggling all the activities and priorities that fly our way each day to better help us avoid dropping the proverbial ball.  Our experience has found that as people improve their ability to juggle today's workload, they are better enabled to start taking on the responsibility of navigating their lives.

This very practical and highly interactive session focuses on how you can more successfully strive for work/life balance, as well as more productively help those on your teams. The session is available in a 45-60 minute keynote format, a 90-120 minute classroom session, or a half-day tutorial session.
