Let’s let go of the idea that establishing work-life balance is a linear process. It’s more like a dance between the two. If you’re careful about setting and maintaining boundaries, you may have better luck at choosing which one gets to take the lead—sometimes work leads the quickstep, sometimes life leads the tango. Sometimes they just bob up and down near one another to essentially the same beat

The beauty of change is, you can count on it to happen. Whether you’re a decision-maker responsible for what will change or an employee who must translate new objectives into desired actions, it’s a good idea to get comfortable with the concept that nothings stays the same forever. In our current business climate, it’s especially critical to draw on or build change preparedness into our company culture. Whether we face a pandemic, lose a valuable client or employee, or need to incorporate updated technology into our daily activities, training ourselves and our teams to embrace change increases resilience. The more agile and flexible we become, the more rapidly we can pivot from crisis to new possibilities.
