An environment that fosters a balanced life is second only to good workplace relationships when it comes to attracting and retaining high-performing employees. Today's workers want a full life - whether they are 25 or 65 years old. And with tough competition for talent, it is vital that companies focus on what motivates people. Salary and benefits alone are not enough. Neither is flextime, nor a forty-hour workweek. Understanding and respecting each employee's values and needs, then aligning them with the company's mission, is the vital driver to success for everyone. People living balanced lives flourish and so do the companies that employ them. A sense of balance and contentment comes from using one's time, energy, and talent in ways that add meaning to life. Using powerful insights and proven techniques, ADD LIFE TO YOUR BALANCE SHEET teaches people how to do just that. ...less

Eighty percent of workers are stressed out; fifty percent say they need help managing stress.2 Companies need to act quickly to deal with escalating health care issues, dwindling productivity, and increasing employee retention costs. ...less

Women are more likely to worry and less likely to be happy, especially between the ages of thirty and fifty. Ask a woman of any age what causes her stress and she will ask how much time to have to listen. But ask what the remedy is and her eyes glaze over as she ponders the question. For most women, life is usually crammed with pressures, obligations, and an unrelenting schedule. Good news! An antidote is available around the clock-and it is FREE. Kathleen Passanisi is particularly gifted in finding the humor in hassles and challenges facing women. If the stress in your life makes you want to cry, she will help you learn to laugh instead. No kidding. ...less
