This much-requested presentation helps participants to examine where their personal energy goes, and how to best keep the engine that drives the family (the parent!) tuned up and running smoothly. Session includes private assessment of how time is used, practical tips for achieving better balance in personal and professional life, and resources to support real growth in the "art of life-task juggling". We'll take a look at the "great expectations" that are the set up for guilt, as well as the difference between functional and dysfunctional guilt. Participants unload the burden of "perfect parent" syndrome, while honestly assessing the aspects of work and personal life that they feel most guilty about. Options for handling unreasonable guilt are explored, and functional guilt is viewed as a motivation for change. Plenty of humor is offered as an antidote, and participants will share their perspectives as they encourage each other to cope skillfully with the key issue of life/work balance.
