Work is essential for many of us but how much time and energy do you actually want to give it in comparison with the time and energy that you spend on friends, family, hobbies, your health and so on.

When work starts to use more than its fair share of our energy or time, other parts of our lives can suffer causing stress, relationship problems, resentment and ill health.

Work/life balance is about seeing the big picture of your life and consciously deciding on the priority that you want to give to each area.

Coaching can help you to

• Take back control and decide on the priority that you want to give different areas of your life.
• Find new ways of working that allow you to take account of other things that are important to you.
• Be happier and more focussed at work
• Be more relaxed and fulfilled outside work
• Achieve more by working smarter not harder.
• Find ways to start improving your home life now rather than waiting until after 'this project is finished'/'that proposal's in'/'John gets back from holiday'...etc.

Typical issues

• I want to see more of my family
• I used to play a lot of sport but now I don't have the time
• I have not used my holiday allocation in years
• I keep having to cancel social plans because something happens at work and I have to stay late.
• I can't remember the last weekend when I did not take work home.
• I feel like I have to socialise with my colleagues outside work or I may lose out on promotion but it's not easy now that I've got a family to consider too.
• Now that I have children I want to find a more flexible way of working.
