Jewish Women Making It Work - New Lessons in Leadership: Strategies for Living a Full Life

private home, address upon RSVP, Palo Alto (map)
Do you wish you could ask better questions to enable you to make better decisions?
Would you like to find more balance in your life?
In today's overcommitted culture, this program focuses on how to make choices to be effective and present in your multiple roles as professionals, mothers, community leaders, and volunteers.
Lisa Kay Solomon, strategy consultant, executive coach, and the principal of LKS Consulting, will speak about using both sides of our brain to rethink our choices, and how we make decisions that can lead to lives that bring out our best work. Lisa's philosophy of "both/and" rather than "either/or" helps reframe our perspective about how we can be powerful and effective without sacrificing our sanity. Lisa will share her perspectives on the skills and mindset we need to design a fulfilling, blended life in an increasingly demanding, uncertain, and often overwhelming world. More info.
Admission: Free.
