Presentation: Work-Life Balance - Is there Such a Thing?

Many people talk about the importance of achieving work-life balance and strive to reach that goal. The deeper question may be – “Is there really such a thing as work-life balance, and what does balance look like?”

 In a post pandemic world, most people are already experiencing more “balance” because of the hybrid environment they operate in and the flexibility and freedom that offers. Yet, some aren’t more fulfilled. We all would like to believe this is attainable, yet it still eludes many.

 In this presentation, Ralph will offer a fresh perspective on the factors that lead to achieving life balance. Ralph will present 8 common domains that must be addressed. They include health, family and friends, finance, career, contribution to society and spiritual fulfillment.

 In addition, Ralph will share his 3-Q (IQ/EQ/PQ) framework that is part of the renowned YEA Leadership Weekend and is a key component of his personal coaching program. The 3-Q’s create clarity and reveal purpose. Purpose is the key factor in achieving balance in life. Living our life based on our “purpose” as opposed to pursuing goals and objectives imposed by others can be transformational and lead to living with balance.
