Stew Friedman: "Leading the Life You Want"

Have you ever wondered if "work/life balance" exists? How do some of the world's most successful professionals find harmony in work and with the rest of "life"? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Stew Friedman as he discusses his most recent book, Leading the Life You Want.
Dr. Friedman is a professor, best selling author, adviser to leaders across the globe, and passionate advocate of replacing the misguided metaphor of “work/life balance” with something more realistic, sustainable, and enriching.
According to Friedman, the idea that “work” competes with “life” ignores the more nuanced reality of our humanity—the intersection and interaction of four central domains: work, home, community, and the private self. The goal is to integrate these areas harmoniously instead of thinking only in terms of trade-offs. It can be done.

Building on his national bestseller, Total Leadership, and on decades of research, teaching, and practice as both a consultant and as a senior executive, Friedman identifies the critical skills for creating harmony between work and the rest of life. He illustrates them through the compelling stories of six remarkable people:

• former CEO of Bain & Company and Bridgespan Group cofounder Tom Tierney
• businesswoman and author Sheryl Sandberg
• nonprofit leader and US Navy SEAL Eric Greitens
• US First Lady Michelle Obama
• soccer champion-turned-broadcaster Julie Foudy
• renowned artist Bruce Springsteen
Come and hear him discuss these remarkable individual's stories and how you can apply their strategies to make positive changes in your own life.
