Lessons Learned While Becoming A Work/Life "Expert"
By Holly Schwartz Temple
The first time someone described me as a work/life balance expert, I couldn’t stop laughing. Me? I said and snorted. The woman who just raised her voice to her darling 6-year-old son for dawdling on his way to bed. The one whose husband got frustrated because she had spent so many nights talking to strangers via her computer — instead of spending time with him! I don’t claim to have all of the answers, but I have learned a great deal from the hundreds of interviews.
