Description: 
 

All of us seek to achieve work-life balance. Some of us do it by compartmentalization, some by multi-tasking, some via sabbaticals, some by dreaming of retiring to something. Others find meaning outside of their day-jobs.

Most of us feel unable to bring our whole selves to work or maybe, we feel impersonal in our personal lives, like we are living somebody else's life. At some point, we all go through imposter syndrome or burnout or know somebody who has.

This session will cover real examples of how to clarify life and create an agile approach to finding joy.

Takeaways:

  • How to meet all your selves
  • How to meet your life
  • How to create transferable skills
  • How to become your giant self
