Superwoman is Alive—And She Is Stressed!

Keynote or Workshop, 60 Minutes
How many jobs do you currently do? How many roles could you change or delegate?

Many women continue to carry out the traditional female roles of wife, housekeeper and primary caregiver to children and elderly parents in addition to their paid work. The demands of these multiple roles, combined with not enough hours in the day to get everything done, leads to stress overload–with devastating costs for physical and mental well-being.

Despite the fact that Canadian women make up half the workforce, our culture still hasn't figured out how to support their participation. This is not about the blame game. This is about understanding what's going on in your own career and what you can do about it.  Yes you can "have your cake and bake it too!" 

Women who've attended rave about the freedom they feel to start to do things differently. Please note that Superwoman is Alive—And She Is Stressed! can be also delivered as a Workshop.
