Session: Finding & Keeping Your Balance (at least 50% of the time)
No company is responsible for putting balance in your life – you are. That’s easier said than done, though.

Women in all positions, including other C-level execs, will hear:• How Kate, Wangui and Jen have determined the work-life balance that works for them and their families
• Examples of setting and communicating boundaries and life priorities…and how to handle any pushback
• The importance of leading by example for your teams, both on and offline
• How to find the workplace that supports you…and how to leave one that doesn’t
