The challenge of leading a balanced life
Balancing the demands of modern life is a challenge that affects all of individuals. In our lives and careers, we are expected to comply with others’ expectations, or be driven towards the goals of our organization. In the name of harmony and career success, many of us sacrifice personal matters or relegate them to a later stage.
We are expected to ‘perform’ not only in our roles as employees, bosses, and team members, but equally as parents, sons or daughters, spouses, friends, or in a multitude of other private or public roles. Managing these responsibilities often causes people to neglect the one relationship on which all others build upon: the relationship we have to our self. The consequences? From confusion about one’s life direction to work dissatisfaction, difficult relationships, depression, frustration, poor health…the list of afflictions is long and sadly common in modern life.
I subscribe to the belief that our career, personal, family and other life challenges are best addressed by first establishing more clarity within ourselves. Together we start by clarifying your individual preferences, goals, strengths and weaknesses. Then, we look at the context of work & relationships. This way we uncover possible options that are the foundations for a healthy way forward.
I have helped many individuals from diverse backgrounds and with unique challenges and aspirations to get themselves unstuck and back on track.
