Creating Balance in Chaos: A Workshop with Rena Seltzer

Research on the concept of dual-centric provides helpful guidance on strategies for balance. Studies show that people with a dual focus on work and family are less stressed and more successful than those whose primary focus is on just work, or just family. We will review the strategies these dual focused people follow to achieve balance and engage in related exercises and discussion about how to implement those strategies. The ideas presented are relevant for singles as well as those with spouses and children. Topics covered include: 

1. Clarifying your mission and priorities at work and at home. 
2. Gender role and cultural conflicts. 
3. Sequencing and boundary setting. 
4. Finding time for self-care. 
5. Action steps to support healthy balance
