Is Work Life Balance Really a Thing? | POF79

Can we have it all and DO it all?  I’m not sure we can…and whoever told us we needed to do every.single.thing anyway?  In this episode I'm speaking with Brilliant Balance's Cherylanne Skolnicki.  We talk about making peace with the choices we make in both our career and in our family life. Many of us love our jobs, love our family and need to put time into taking care of ourselves too!  Where are you putting the most time?  How can you take more off your plate?  How can you better leverage your time and the people in your life to get more done or have more down time (doing noting isn’t a crime!) Listen in to learn: How you can be better at using  your work team AND  your “home team” to support what needs to get done The simple things women can do every day to feel better! Uncover the 3 strategies powerful women use to get more done.   About Cherylanne Skolnicki  Want to be a rock star at work and at home? Cherylanne Skolnicki has the playbook. As an entrepreneur with a husband and three kids of her own, she knows exactly how it feels to have too much to do and not enough time to do it. It's exhausting, it's stressful, and it can be tempting to just give in to the chaos. Like most children of the 80s and 90s, Cherylanne grew up believing she could have it all. She started her first business while still in high school, and dreamed of one day becoming a CEO. After graduating from Cornell, she went to work for Procter & Gamble where she spent the next 15 years climbing the corporate ladder and managing a portfolio of well known consumer product brands (one had more than $1 billion in global sales). Despite her demanding work schedule, she still traveled, ran marathons, and volunteered like a boss. And then she had 3 children. All of a sudden, the unrelenting pace she was running at felt unsustainable. That’s when she knew she had to reorder her life so all the pieces would truly fit - including not just a thriving career and family life, but also a good night's sleep and some time to herself! It wasn't easy at first, but she finally discovered a set of practices that truly worked. That prompted her to found Brilliant Balance, and her playbook has helped thousands of professional women reclaim rock star status over the last decade.  Her company, Brilliant Balance, offers work-life mentorship and coaching programs to help you have a fulfilling career, a thriving family life, and a strong sense of self.

She appears on TV news shows as an expert on work life balance, productivity, and purpose.  Cherylanne graduated from Cornell University in 1995. She holds an MBA from the Goizueta School of Management at Emory University. She is a member of the Female Founders Collective, one of Cincinnati’s 100 Wise Women, a Forty Under 40 Honoree, a happy wife, and a proud mom of three.
