Work life balance
Listen[Rebroadcast from June 14, 2013]
Whether you’re a recent graduate just entering the workforce or you’ve been on a career path for some time, one thing is certain: it’s not always easy managing the quality of our work and personal lives. More often than not, we find ourselves overbooked in both arenas — to the point of not doing anything the way we really want to — and running out of steam in the process.
Dr. Dan Gottlieb discusses work-life balance–what’s really achievable and what’s satisfying, with guests Julie Cohen and Marty Nemko.
Julie Cohen, PCC is a career and leadership coach in the Philadelphia area. She is the author of Your Work, Your Life, Your Way: 7 Keys to Work-Life Balance.
Marty Nemko, Ph.D. is a career coach, educational psychologist, author, and host of Work with Marty Nemko on NPR affiliate KALW in San Francisco. His most recent book is How to Do Life: What They Didn’t Teach You in School.
