The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

If you are looking to strike the balance between thriving personally and professionally, start by answering these two questions… What is the ONE thing you can do to be present with your family that will make them feel like you are there for them? How much focused quality time will that require? It’s not about the amount of time – it’s about the quality of time.   Now share your ONE thing with your family so that they can hold you accountable. Underpromise and overdeliver!
