Moving up in a company and taking on new responsibilities, often related to managing teams or ambitious projects, requires availability to the organization. This requirement increases with each new position.
Some women often admit to being ambiguous about this situation. Of course, they feel real satisfaction and motivation to be entrusted with new missions... but for some of them who have started a family life, it is not uncommon for their pride and passion for their work to be counterbalanced by a form of guilt.
How to manage the complementary roles of mother, wife and a demanding responsibility within the company?
Women who have had successful careers acknowledge having had to, at one time or another, get out of ambiguity about their life choices:
By taking clear positions on their personal and professional projects;
By facing the consequences of their choices, positive or more constraining. It is obviously difficult to have a position of responsibility and guarantee being home every night at 7pm.
Subjecting yourself to this clarification exercise will allow you to organize yourself according to consciously made choices. Thus, you will more easily assume the constraints related to your professional and personal situation; you will be better able to enjoy the advantages.
When faced with a difficult decision, spend a few minutes evaluating the benefits, risks, advantages and consequences of each option. There is no secret, no miracle recipe: reconciling professional success and work-life balance requires a lot of energy and above all a constant awareness of one's priorities, limits and aspirations.
In order to make the choice that best suits your needs of the moment, it is important to clarify the benefits and risks induced by each option. You will thus be able to prioritize your priorities according to your responsibilities, desires and motivations.
Clarifying the benefits and constraints associated with the different choices and implementing the actions associated with the consequences of your choices allows you to better manage the desired work-life balance. No magic wand, only time invested in reflection and organization.
