Women in Business and Grief


Hello All,


In today's world, the desire for many women, is the idealism of balancing career and family. The yearning to find what works and to change what doesn't work. It is about creating strategies and learning to move and adapt to constant changes both in work and at home. With corporate downsizing, acquisitions, and rising prices at the gas pump (to name just a few) many are looking for ways to work smarter, be more effective and find the precious quality time for children's soccer games, recitals etc.


Under everyday circumstances, it can be exciting and challenging for women to juggle a business or corporate career while raising children and/or participating in elder care. When the death of a spouse occurs, it can most certainly blow the "normal" challenges "out the window" and blow in new, different and many times devastating challenges at first. I say "at first" because it is true for so many. Over time, with getting help and creating new strategies for life and business every women I believe can move forward, create meaningful change, adapt and grow.


There are articles and resources on my website http://www.coachingforwidows.com/ that can help. In addition, I offer one on one coaching where we forge a coaching relationship designed to support you as you discover your path for success in both business and in your life.


Warmly,

Colleen
