Work-life balance for you and the members of your advocacy is not a myth. It can (and should) be achieved. Creating positive work-life culture in your life or in your organization is a matter of understanding different work-life strategies and adapting them to your situation. Work-life balance is created through a blend of education, advocacy, and trial. Failure to create work-life friendly cultures leads to burnout, turnover, poor performance, and health issues.
As a researcher of work-life balance on organizational performance, Paul Artale will show you how to beat burnout in a fun and lighthearted way based on his book, The 2-Year Old’s Guide to Work-Life Balance. Paul will show you how to identify and advocate for a work-life balance.

The Spork Principle teaches you how to leverage what you have in order to get what you want. This program was born out of Paul’s experience as a manager at several universities where he found himself understaffed, under-resourced, and feeling like he was constantly under water.
Blending his experiences as a department head and his research Paul show you how to grow and prosper regardless of your circumstance. The Spork Principle will show you how to find creative and imaginative solutions that will increase your team performance
Your audience will learn how to:
One out of every five Americans has a (dis)ability, more than 55% of Americans will have a disability before they retire, and the buying power of individuals with (dis)abilities is $1 trillion per year. Despite these facts showing that (dis)ability is part of every workplace and transcends all identities and affinities, most organizations struggle to create work environments that attract, accommodate, and retain persons with (dis)abilities.
During this thought-provoking program, Paul Artale goes beyond the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and helps you understand the personal, social, and medical needs of persons with (dis)abilities in order to attract and retain this extremely underutilized talent pool. Maximum Ability incorporates Paul’s personal experience as an individual with a physical (dis)ability, his training as a special education teacher, current social conditions, and the latest (dis)ability research to create a presentation that is information-packed, practical, and challenges common assumptions.

Work-life balance: it feels elusive and unattainable sometimes in our very busy worlds, especially in corporate America……Paul’s workshop: TThe 2-year-old’s Guide to Work-Life Balance”, and everyone left that meeting with more understanding about why we need to achieve work life balance and how we can make it happen right now. Paul is an energetic and captive speaker who engaged us in his speech from the very rst sentence to his very last anecdote. Paul was inspiring, informative, and innovative in his approach, and we are so grateful for him taking out time in his day to share his research and knowledge!
