Career Development
How You Can Be the CEO of Your Life
You’re a successful professional, juggling multiple competing priorities between work and personal life. At the same time, work and your personal life is a constant struggle to balance it all. This frequently leaves you feeling like you're merely surviving, not thriving.
At the same time, the events of the past few years have taken a toll, forcing you to look in the mirror each morning and ask yourself, "What's most important to me? How do I achieve balance? What am I missing? Is it all worth it?" You're not alone. Even after decades of experience and career "Forrest Gump" moments, professionals like us are still wrestling with these very questions.
But there's hope. The same business frameworks and concepts CEOs use to create value in organizations can also work for your different "lines of business" – your family, work, friends, loved ones, and community.
We’ll spend our time exploring how great business frameworks for business CEOs also apply to you as the CEO of YOUR life.
