Successful Women Reflecting on Work-Life Balance

Many working women choose their career path because they have been inspired by other women. With each chapter of my career, there have been numerous women cheering me on, giving me advice and sharing how they manage to strike harmony between work and home. Work-life balance sounds ideal in theory, but figuring out how to juggle it all is always a challenge, especially when it seems the system is working against us. A demanding career makes things even more difficult; between the back-to-back meetings, endless emails, and constant deadlines, it’s tricky enough to squeeze in a good cup of coffee, let alone carve out time for a date night, kids’ school activities, or a quick yoga class. During this blog series, I invite you to meet women in my life who have found harmony and balance between their professional and personal life. So, pull up an OfficeSource chair and meet the amazing women in my life.
