Join weVENTURE Women's Business Center for a Strong Coffee Strong Women purposeful networking event. Enjoy delicious coffee with other ambitious women in our network at the beautiful Cypress Bank & Trust in Melbourne. Let us fill your cup with coffee and inspiration!
This event will feature weVENTURE Women's Business Center's Executive Director, Kathryn Rudloff's 'Enough of the “work–life balance” debate. Let’s reduce conflict and achieve Equilibrium.'
The headlines are loud: a 22-year-old entrepreneur in the Wall Street Journal says “work-life balance will keep you mediocre,” while coverage of the “996” grind (9 a.m. – 9 p.m., six days a week) is making the rounds in tech circles.
When billionaires talk about “work-life conflict,” it usually doesn’t involve choosing between groceries or rent because childcare costs are crushing the monthly budget.
We don’t have to pick between burnout and mediocrity. And we shouldn’t pretend work-life conflict is an individual character flaw to be hacked with personal grit. Instead, we should design social and workplace policies for Equilibrium: a stable state where competing priorities coexist with less friction, so people can channel their finite time and energy with intention.
Come learn how policy and business practices can better align with how people actually live and work. Kathryn will share her Seven Strategies to Embrace Equilibrium: Own Your Reality, Establish Boundaries, Manage Expectations, Embrace Seasons of Life, Communicate Your Reality, Self-Care for Endurance, and Celebrate Success.
