Personal Excellence for Women

Personal Excellence for Women – Achieving Work-Life Balance and Professional  Competency

Women are under enormous pressure today to juggle various responsibilities-- raising children, managing homes, working full-time, volunteering for numerous organizations, caring for aging parents and the list goes on. Because of their propensity to over-helping, perfectionism, people-pleasing and feeling mounting guilt, the pressure is mounting and many women are feeling burned out!

This workshop will help women understand what is at the ‘root’ of such behavior and how to break these destructive cycles. It will assist women in reducing stress and teach them to understand some of their own personal triggers that ‘pull’ them toward over-involvement, people-pleasing and perfectionism both in the workplace and at home.
