Lisa has a history of standing up against limiting beliefs about women’s ability to balance work and family. In one memorable exchange in a public setting she recalls feeling, “like so many doors were shut by that statement for all the women in the room.” It is possible for you to enjoy both a great career and have meaningful relationships. From Lisa’s experience, “You can do both pieces. It’s about choices and it’s about how you integrate that life balance into your work.” A good leader will want to collaborate with you and find solutions for your career growth.
