Work Essentials #2 - Work/life balance w/ Tanya Swetta and Rachel Goenka

About the session

With the boundaries between work and life becoming more blurred than ever before, how is it possible to achieve a sense of balance without sacrificing on either end? Rachel Goenka and Tanya Swetta are both entrepreneurs who started out young and as well as being mothers, they run their own businesses and are now, like most of us, negotiating working through their goals for 2020 while in lockdown. This candid conversation will cover things like positive habits to inculcate in order to motivate yourself and your team, how to strike the perfect balance between being CEO and parent, using this time to work on your personal growth and what happiness means in this new setting.
