Heart diseases, lifestyle diseases, hormonal imbalances, high cortisol levels and more, or even just your overall demeanour, satisfaction levels and fulfilment, they are all impacted by a poor work-life balance.
Whether its skimming the morning newspaper or scrolling through my instagram and twitter feed, or in every session that I enter as a leadership and performance coach, I am inundated with queries on how we solve this eternal dilemma of maintaining the ideal work-life balance?
Having worked in the realm of corporate finance M&A, been an entrepreneur and a managing director, I know this plight all too well. I have personally swallowed the same pill of overachievement and zealousness, having pulled an average of 17-18 hour work days, red eyes and more, for many years of my work life. And there is no doubting the high that the adrenaline rush brings with it.
