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!
