Work Life Balance? Speaker Fawn Germer Talks to Women Trying to Do Everything at Once
Work-life balance? What work life balance? Best-selling Oprah author and keynote speaker Fawn Germer knows that life balance is still one of the most difficult challenges women face today because we are still trying too hard to do it all.
Yep, we’re pretty busy here, just “livin’ the dream.”
“Sure, Boss, I can do that before I leave . . . No problem, I’ll pick up the kids . . . Yes, of course I can do that. I’ll fit it in . . . Have you finished your homework?”
Good grief! Sometimes we get so caught up in the demands of daily living that we forget to take time to make sure that the dream we are living is our dream. We’re so busy pleasing other people and meeting their expectations of us that we neglect to satisfy our own needs.
This work/life balance speaker has done extensive research on the topic, interviewing the most accomplished women leaders and trailblazers on what they learned about life balance. Oprah told the world how “very inspiring” Fawn’s work was, and you will agree. The best-selling author has written about work-life balance issues in two of her books, Hard Won Wisdom and The NEW Woman Rules and work-life balance is one of the most-requested topics Fawn gets. Why? Because most women are pulling out their hair trying to do too much and wrestling with the guilt when they don’t do everything perfectly.
Fawn, a four-time Pulitzer-nominated journalist, used to hate it when editors would have her ask women of power, “How do you do all of this and raise a family?” She thought the question was insulting, especially since she was never told to ask it of men.
But, after talking with so many women who are trying to do it all, that remains the question. How do women manage to do so much at work without letting their home lives fall apart? Fawn’s got the tips and strategies that will show every woman how to take charge of her multiple roles and make peace with the things she can’t do perfectly. She will inspire your audience to deal with their stresses, yet find the time they need for themselves. What good are they to their jobs and their families if they aren’t taking care of themselves?
Fawn Germer, the nation’s premier work-life balance speaker and best-selling author shows how.
