Work Life Myth

"All of us have Seven Slices in our lives: our Family Slice, our Professional Slice, our Personal Slice, our Physical Slice, our Intellectual Slice, our Emotional Slice, and our Spiritual Slice. These all need to be served in some fashion - and in serving them, they, in turn, serve us." This concept is at the heart of the method executive coach David McNeff has used to transform the lives and careers of his clients.

Next time, be ready to slay the beast of balance with this time-tested approach.
