Are You on the Edge? 

So Who Isn't?

How many of us really have it together so that we can say, "Nope, I don't need any help and stress, me? no way." If this were the case, there would not be such a high use of anti-anxiety medications nor would this be the number one topic of conversation for mothers, female employees, even charities because they can't find volunteers for their efforts. It isn't that women no longer care about things, we just don't have good ways of assessing where our energies belong and who deserves it. The lines of our lives are blurred and are actually bleeding one area into another: worker time; family time; personal time; emotional time; health time. Most repeated noun? Time. Think you can make more of it? Not likely.

Sometimes the discomfort is useful, even meaningful. We can change once we are aware, once we have tools. And yes, sometimes all that is required is a vacation but we all know that 'life waits at home', so if everything is still there behind the front door, what to do?

Women in Leadership Ottawa has teamed up with Dale Stevenson of The Leadership Group to help you get off balance even further but NOT to head into chaos or burn-out. We want you to regain your balance, to learn your edges and to gain comfort in your life.  On Saturday November 30th, WIL Ottawa will be presenting Dale's workshop 'EdgeWalking'. This full version will be 2.5 hrs and will be interactive, physical and a grade above anything else that you've attempted to help gain balance in your life. Participants from the mini version held at Canada's 1st Women in Social Business Forum were excited and audible about their enthusiasm for Dale and her exercises and many women asked for more. 

If you'd like to register for EdgeWalking, use the eventbrite link here. Knowing one's edges can mean so much in a busy life and as a leadership tool, who wouldn't want to know where to draw the line and feel good about it? 

Imagine being out on the ledge and knowing that you won't fall off. Imagine that the answer is knowing that you could move it. Take a couple hours and find out.
