Work-Life Balance
Day 2 - 28 Feb, 2024
11:20 AM - 11:45 AM / GMT
'You can be anything...but you can't be EVERYTHING!' Why not? Who wrote those rules?
Lisa Payne shares a presentation that conveys the challenges and the realities of returning to work after three maternity leaves. She explores her journey of advancing in her career while being one of the few women in leadership within a predominantly male-led industry. However, her presentation ultimately aims to instill a sense of empowerment and a can-do attitude. It seeks to inspire and excite not only working mothers but all women who aspire to achieve work-life harmony.
- “We girls can do anything, right Barbie?” and “Anything is possible as long as I try”.
- “We girls can do EVERYTHING, right Lisa?” and “EVERYTHING is possible as long as I try”.
- “True courage is pursuing your dream, even if everyone else says it is impossible”
- Don't redefine yourself to match the mould of the other traditionalist leaders up there. There is a seat at the top for those who lead with empathy and those who lead as Women.
