5 Steps to Better Work-Life Balance – For Leader’s
Reaping work-life benefits for yourself, your organization and your team
This upbeat keynote for leaders delivers an understanding of the key bottom line impact of Work-Life Balance on the organization and on the manager’s effectiveness as a leader. Concrete examples and personal applications show how to incorporate work-life balance methods into the leader’s existing style to immediately impact their own work and life, as well as that of their team’s.
People today are exposed to over 100 times as many personal and professional choices as compared with ten years ago. This explosion of choices is unprecedented in human history, suggesting that today’s managers and employees require not only a different skill set, but also a different mind set than even a decade ago. As a result, the demand for work-life balance solutions is expanding at an unprecedented rate; and, over the next decade, will be one of the most important issues that executives and human resource professionals are expected to manage.
While traditional efforts such as employee benefits and organizational policies are beneficial, research shows that personal accountability combined with an improved skill set are the key to a better work-life balance. In this session, Jim will reveal the two essentials required for a successful work-life strategy and how leaders can most quickly and effectively implement them. Leaders are impacted with personal takeaways that benefit them individually, driving their commitment to positively follow through with their teams.
5 Steps to Better Work-Life Balance

The Choice Challenge
Advanced Time Management for Your Work and Life

Quick and easy advanced time management tools are discovered and applied. Participants leave with skills for making the most of the moment as well as for prioritizing a multitude of complex ongoing demands.
